News Corp. Puts Project Alesia Plans On Hold

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. has ceased all work on Project Alesia – the aggregated news content delivery program conceived back in March to rival Google News.  News Corp. planned to launch a variety of different newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal, across the entire digital landscape — particularly on the iPad and Google Android system.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, sources claim that Project Alesia was “ahead of its time” and while News. Corp did their work in setting a price points for digital sales, “other publications are not as far on.”
