It seems like more and more news companies are jumping on the iOS bandwagon. We've seen quite a number of sources bringing
their subscription based services to Apple's mobile platform, services which include NewsCorp.'s The Daily, Virgin Group'sProject and Marie Claire for the iPad. Now, loyal readers of the International Herald Tribune, one of the best sources for international news, rejoice, as the company has released its app for the iPad as well as the iPad. The best part is, it's free.
Currently, the International Herald Tribune application is free, and so is the content upon registration. However, it seems like early next year, the company will start charging a fee for the content.
The International Herald Tribune app for iPad provides an authentic perspective on the world's daily news, from Paris, Hong Kong and New York. Due to the fact that it has a massive global news gathering operation with The New York Times, the International Herald Tribune selects the best content relation to international news, business, culture, style, sports and opinion articles for their large number of readers.
The content includes:
- World news articles, which are fully refreshed for the Europe and Asia mornings, and the app includes a Latest News section from global.nytimes.com to keep you updated on the breaking stories that matter throughout the day.
- The comprehensive Business with Reuters section provides market and company news and analysis, and helps you connect the dots in global finance and economics.
- Heavy-hitting columnists like Roger Cohen, Thomas L. Friedman and Nobel prize-winner Paul Krugman appear alongside a revolving cast of influential and provocative global thinkers in the must-read Views section.
- Culture & Style which takes you to fascinating corners of the international art, film, theater, design, music and literature worlds, and Suzy Menkes offers unrivaled coverage of fashion, from the catwalks of Europe to the shopping malls of Brazil.
- Soccer, golf, tennis, Formula One racing, rugby, cricket, baseball, football and athletics are all there in the world Sports section, along with the passionate and insightful journalism of Rob Hughes and Christopher Clarey
There’s a lot more to this app than what has been mentioned above, and most importantly this application is free until early 2011, readers can gain unlimited access to all sections by simply registering when prompted within the app.
