So, now that the Daily is out there, who is it for? Who will read this bold new experiment in journalism and why? First, let me state that we just saw a sea change in journalism as its practiced online. Murdoch's deep pockets have pushed through something publishers have tried to do for about two years now - namely create a compelling, interactive news source for tablet users. If I may be so bold, I would equate the efforts by Popular Science and titles that previously attempted to move to the iPad as the 1.0, pre-Internet CD-ROM days. The content was static and the old methods - commissioned text, carefully laid out on a page, released monthly at a premium price - are now over. That said, I wouldn't wager the Daily will be the best or most popular of these new "streaming" newspapers but I do suspect that for the first few years it will be the most popular.
