Danish newspaper turns itself into huge pulp iPad to mull the future of print

Danish newspaper Information‘s latest cover was a delightfully dead pulp fake of the iPad’s touchscreen display.

The cover story is the same “print is dead” piece we’ve seen countless times before, prophesying that the only future of publishing is digital, with the iPad as one of many Messiah-like devices that must be embraced by the public in order to save the traditional print industry.

Well, the iPad certainly isn’t going to hurt the chances of print, but if the recent reports that the New York Times is considering charging its subscribers $30 a month for the iPad version is anything to go by, the biggest hurdle is going to be getting old media to run their businesses more intelligently and efficiently in the digital age… and nothing Steve Jobs can do is going to help them with that.
