Murdoch's iPad publication is known as The Daily and has been the talk of the media world over the past two months, and Murdoch has even termed it as the number one exciting project as stated by the report . The almost secret project has been taking shape at the firm's Manhattan headquarters, but it will also have a office in Los Angeles."
Murdoch is said to have spent thirty million dollars for the project. He has hired a team of respected journalists from a variety of publications including the Daily Beast, The New Yorker, Politico and Forbes.
Reuters also confirmed the news of Jobs and Murdoch sharing the stage in San Francisco. Ahead of that, Forbes revealed that the launch date is supposed to be Jan. 19 as planned.
Staffers at The Daily have supposedly been doing full-scale dry runs for the publication for weeks, printing out "dummy issues" for an exclusive test readership of about one thousand. It is believed that the publication could debut side by side with a new version of Apple's iOS mobile operating system, which would enable recurring application subscriptions through software getting sold on the App Store.
