Rupert Murdoch Plans a Digital Newspaper For the US

Posted by timothy on from the adding-dot-com-works-for-me dept.

Hugh Pickens writes "The Guardian reports that Rupert Murdoch plans to launch a digital newspaper in the US geared specifically to younger readers and to digital outlets such as the iPad and mobile phones. The paper, as yet unnamed, will pool the huge editorial muscle of Murdoch's combined holdings within News Corporation, which include the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and the financial wire service Dow Jones, as well as his newspapers in the UK and Australia. Earlier this month, Murdoch said of the iPad: 'It's a real game-changer in the presentation of news,' adding 'We'll have young people reading newspapers.'"

    Fox's audience probably wouldn't even notice the name change anyway... "Quick, O'Reilly's on!"

    You f'ed that up: 'We younger readers "know" Rupert is a douche.' You're welcome. Now, get off my lawn.
