At the one-year anniversary of the release of the iPad, we're beginning to learn about who's buying tablets and how -- and when -- they're using it. In this one-hour Webinar, we will look at the latest research, try to sort through the contradictions and understand what it all means for news consumption on tablets. And we'll look at what some organizations have learned, now that they've been producing content for a year.
