Because the internet has overtaken newspapers as a data source, convincing readers to shell out the dough for online news has proven an uphill battle . Now two papers are attempting a brand new approach: entice customers with discounted Android tablets and pre-loaded content apps. The Philadelphia Media Network, which owns the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philadelphia Daily News, is planning a pilot program for mid-August a good way to offer around 2,000 tablets; if successful, it will probably expand to more readers. The combined price of hardware and a one- to 2-year daily subscription ought to be about 1/2 retail. To date we’ve got few details on what you will get to your money, but expect a WiFi tablet from a prime manufacturer, with 3G and/or 4G possible sooner or later. In case you are from town of concord and need more details in this early-stage plan, see the video after the break.
