Rupert Murdoch’s iPad-only magazine ‘The Daily’, which was launched to great fanfare in early 2011, has been put ‘on watch’ following news of News Corp’s decision to split its publishing and entertainment properties, it has been revealed. After its launch, the magazine has languished ever since, chiefly because you can only access it on an iPad. The evolution could come to an end after the election as New York Observer’s Kat Stoeffel reported that “internal rumours that The Daily has been put ‘on watch’”. “According to a source the status of the groundbreaking iPad tabloid—which loses 30 million dollars a year—will be reassessed after the November 6 election,” the Politico quoted Stoeffel as writing. According to one source at News Corp, talk of The Daily's death is so common as to be taken for granted but the November 6 deadline is new, and probably cause for some concern around the atercooler.
