After months of top secret development, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp appears poised to take the wraps off a digital newspaper for the iPad called The Daily.
News Corp has been tight-lipped about the project, but the Australian-born media mogul acknowledged its existence for the first time in an interview last week with his Fox Business Network.
Asked what "exciting projects" his sprawling media and entertainment company was working on, the 79-year-old Murdoch cited The Daily but offered no further information about the tabloid for Apple's touchscreen tablet computer.
Details about the project have been dribbling out in the US media for weeks, however, and The New York Times, citing two employees who requested anonymity, said News Corp intends to launch The Daily before the end of the year.APMurdoch launching newspaper for iPad
