Journalists who own an iPad have such a tool that will allow them to produce content, write texts and use it as their primary weapon while performing their activities, all without the need for a computer, practice, creativity And the right accessories will be ready to work as a journalist with only your iPad.

My suggestion for a journalist who, in addition to organizing with Things (or Reminders), not to forget any appointments or pending text, may use the tablet to send colleagues or mail (Mail), and also of course , use iPad as a text production tool.

Pages a fabulous app It has very advanced features, the Word replacement on the iPad and no matter how hard you try there is no other more practical than it. This application has many templates for you to adapt your wording and assemble a note, as well as starting a text from scratch.
