DJR Digest: Death of media’s app?

(This is the repost of Ivan's original blog entry, "Digital Journalism Review Digest 006: Death of media’s app? And what newsroom training we need for young journalists?, dated Aug.10.)

It's not new that media likes tablet, the new channel to promote the content to feel-like-richer readers.

But it's a little bit new that, as the cases of The Daily and the Huffington Post show, the new channel might not work for many media since they won't be given enough time to cultivate the brand-new market for unpredictable revenue.
