The iPad is Risen—Hallelujah?
As of this weekend, we have officially entered the “Age of the iPad.”
At Perfect Market, like so many others involved in the world of online publishing, we are keeping a close eye on Apple’s tablet. How can we not, when it’s been touted (by some) as the publishing industry’s “savior?”
Is Steve Jobs the Jesus for newspapers? (Some have argued that the iPad Easter launch was no mere coincidence; clever subliminal messaging by Apple.)
Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu) of PressThink blog perhaps described the phenomenon best to the Huffington Post when he said, “Before the iPad came into our sights, there was already a series of headlines and desperate passages: will ______ save journalism? There’s this search for the savior, and the belief that there is one.”
