News Corp.’s iPad-only publication “The Daily” has been downloaded almost a million times, Publisher Greg Clayman said Wednesday at TechCrunch Disrupt. Of course, downloads don’t necessarily equal subscribers; users can download The Daily for free, but they must pay $1 a week or $40 a year for content. (Content was free from the Feb. 2 launch until March 21.) But, Clayman noted, “We are consistently now in the top-grossing apps, in the top 10 or top 12.” Today it is No. 9 overall and No. 2 in the News category, behind Wired magazine.

The Daily is the No. 2 top grossing news app in the iTunes App Store on May 25.
