Brian Chen explores the technical and ethical issues ahead for journalism as Apple's iPad comes to market. Principally he looks at the gatekeeper role Apple is playing on applications and their content.
He also cites others who worry that Apple will not work to protect press freedoms and will bow to complaints about content.
Given the speed with which applications are emerging, Apple also faces a problem in keeping pace. Chen suggests the iPad and the App Store are not the ideal environment for newspapers and magazines to be reborn.
