Comment on Why The Daily failed

Comments

The Daily's biggest competing app was the web browser. Thousands of websites with better information, accessible quickly and for free.

That's not to say a paid news magazine is not viable, but if you are going to start one, you need to know what you are competing against.

A fast, presentable application with unique focused content is going to be key in the future. It seems The Daily was the polar opposite of that - trying to put an old world concept on a new world device.
