In the wake of the unveiling of The Daily (11 a.m. today in New York), Poynter has many valid questions to pose as to how it will be run as an iPad newspaper, e-newspaper, news application, or even just paper. That's the first question: What do we call it? Secondly, where will it take the future of digital journalism, tablets and paid content? Granted, a crystal ball will be needed for the second. Read more about Poynter's questions, click here. And here is a list of sites to follow the launch:

Megan Garber of Nieman Journalism Lab interviews The New York Times' Chief Technology Officer, Marc Frons, regarding the newspaper's new Recommendations algorithm to find out more about the purpose of its usage, in how the engine benefits the user as well as the paper, by what means it corresponds to the paywall soon to come, and how plans for Recommendations will expand to a "You are what you read" phenomenon where centralized interaction will promote a more personal connection between the paper and the user. A definite read for those curious--click here.

According to The Plum Line on The Washington Post, former MSNBC reporter David Shuster is planning to launch a new investigative website "focused on long-term, manpower-heavy investigative projects." But the question is whether there is space on the Internet for such an endeavor, given that "web-based news orgs are racing faster and faster in the battle to maximize clicks with attention-grabbing but perishable micro-scoops?"

Is digital curating and aggregating the new way to break into the news industry? A case is made for this in seeing the haze of mergers and hirings and firings going on--Gabriel Snyder, who was fired from Gawker in February 2010, will be joining The Atlantic as the editor of the magazine's Atlantic Wire aggregation website, according to The New York Observer Media Mob Blog. Snyder will replace Ben Carlson, who left for a job at Rupert Murdoch's iPad newspaper The Daily. According to The Village Voice's Press Clips Blog, "Snyder ... will be expected 'to hire 15 young aggregators' ... Meaning, Snyder will be charged with completing something more in line with 'old' Gawker, in which inexperienced (and presumably low-paid) youngsters collect news and opinion published elsewhere. Except, where Snyder's Gawker, in its non-original reporting, and many other blogs today (including this one) hope to add value by connecting dots, drawing parallels and making jokes, The Wire is simply meant to collect and cut, making others' opinions more easily digestible. Put more broadly: 'Yeah, I think that coming in and doing curation and aggregation in many ways is the new 'go out to a small paper and earn your stripes covering the school board,'' Bob Cohn, the editorial director of Atlantic Digital, told The Observer."
