A '''digital newspaper''' is a [[Digital data|digital]] version of a printed [[newspaper]]. Newspapers can be digitally published [[online]] or as a digital copy on a digital device, such as a [[mobile phone]] or an [[E Ink]] reader.

==Online==

===Web===
{{main|Online newspaper}}
Many organisations that publish a printed newspaper have also an [[online newspaper]].<ref>[http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/ www.onlinenewspapers.com]</ref><ref>[http://www.ipl.org/div/news/ www.ipl.org]</ref> Newspapers can decide to publish the same information as in the printed version online, or choose to provide different articles compared to the printed newspaper. Information can be provided for free or as a paid subscription. Some printed newspapers have decided to have their publication only published online. In the Netherlands the freesheet DAG killed the printed edition in 2008.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.pcmuitgevers.nl/default.aspx?NavID=146&NewsID=955&RubriekID=&Dialog=NewsContent |title=www.pcmuitgevers.nl |access-date=2009-02-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090307094431/http://www.pcmuitgevers.nl/default.aspx?NavID=146&NewsID=955&RubriekID=&Dialog=NewsContent |archive-date=2009-03-07 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In the US The Capital Times decided also to continue online in 2008.<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/04/28/business/link.php www.iht.com]</ref> In Australia, the Australia Times became the first Australian newspaper to publish a digital newspaper edition in May 2010<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.australia-times.com.au/world/article.php?id=4330|title = The Australia Times: The future of newspaper delivery is here}}</ref> which is accessed through its Australia Times Reader software.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.australia-times.com.au/reader/|title = The Australia Times: Australia Times Reader}}</ref>

Some newspapers provide digitalized versions<ref>[https://news.google.com/archivesearch news.google.com]</ref><ref>[http://icon.crl.edu/digitization.htm icon.crl.edu][http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/viewer.aspx www.pressdisplay.com]</ref> of their printed editions. A commonly used format is [[pdf]].

Others experiment with new layouts to provide the news on their websites. [[The New York Times]] tried to fit as many articles as possible on a screen by using a layout that resembles a full newspaper sheet.<ref>[http://firstlook.blogs.nytimes.com/prototypes/#skimmer firstlook.blogs.nytimes.com]</ref>

===Mobile phones===
[[PressDisplay.com]] created an application to read newspapers on the [[iPhone]].<ref>[http://www.crunchgear.com/2007/07/23/get-the-newspaper-on-your-iphone-free-for-a-month/ www.crunchgear.com]</ref> The New York Times has also a special application designed for the iPhone and [[iPod Touch]].<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/ref/membercenter/iphonefaq.html www.nytimes.com]</ref>

===Future===
Some people have argued that any device could be suitable for distributing news as long as the distribution is kept easy and intuitive. Journalist [[David Carr (journalist)|David Carr]] discussed in the [[International Herald Tribune]] the possible success for an '[[iTunes]]' for news.<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/2009/01/12/business/12carr.php www.iht.com]</ref> [[The Economist]] also discussed this option.<ref>[http://www.economist.com/opinion/displaystory.cfm?story_id=13109596 www.economist.com]</ref><ref>[http://www.economist.com/business/displaystory.cfm?story_id=13109804 www.economist.com]</ref>

===E ink===

Newspaper Direct offers a kind of virtual newspaper kiosk where the user can choose the paper. The company offers titles from eighty countries.
