The Daily Is 75% Short On Readers

iPad newspaper The Daily is averaging 120,000 readers a week, or less than a quarter of what the company needs to be profitable, reports Bloomberg.

And since that 120,000 figure includes not just paying subscribers but also users trying out the two-week free trial, the number of people paying to read The Daily could be even fewer, Bloomberg says.

Daily owner Rupert Murdoch said earlier this year that half a million subscribers would be the “paper’s” break-even point.
