NY Times: The Daily, Digital-Only Newspaper

Today I read an article in the New York Times titled "News Corporation introduces the Daily, Digital-Only Newspaper"by Jeremy Peters. Rupert Murdoch developed a news application for the Ipad called "The Daily". This will be the first digital news application and there are many risks involved. This application will only cost $39.99 a year in hopes that the cheap price will bring in more costumers. The cost of producing this paper is lessened because printing and distribution are not necessary. This business article interested me because it shows how the world is shifting from the tradition style newspaper to digital news. I believe that within the next couple years, printed papers will no longer exist. This is just the beginning of a totally digital society.
