With A Newspaper on the Brink, Hearst Ready to Unveil E-Reader
Hearst Corporation, which publishes magazines ranging from Cosmopolitan to Esquire and newspapers including the endangered San Francisco Chronicle, has developed a wireless e-reader with a large-format screen suited to the reading and advertising requirements of newspapers and magazines.
