Paul Carr?s ?The New Gambit? Wants To Be ?The Economist,? But Funny (And Tablet-Only!)

Screen Shot 2011-10-14 at 1.05.21 PMHere's the one in which we figure out what Paul Carr's startup will actually do;�Okay so it is a publication! Okay it's a whole company focused on publishing only for tablets and e-readers! (Actually doesn't a tablet count as an e-reader? Wasted thirty minutes having this discussion this morning ...) Carr's post-TechCrunch company, NSFW Corp, will shun the Internet in favor of a publishing direct-to-the-tablet model because Carr�thinks that high-quality content and the web�are two mutually exclusive things. NSFW Corp's first publication will be The New Gambit, which Carr describes as The Economist as written by The Daily Show writers -- something like The Onion, but for real news.
