Amid reports of The Daily’s uncertain future, the iPad newspaper’s editor-in-chief told staff on Friday: don’t listen to the “haters.”Editor Jesse Angelo congratulated staff on the launch of the publication’s weekend newspaper, called, appropriately enough, WKND. “As for the latest misinformed, untrue rumors of our imminent demise, I would urge you to ignore them,” Angelo said in the memo. “Since before we launched, our dear friends at competing media outlets have done their best to wish us ill and gleefully ‘report’ on what they think is going on here. The truth is we have over 100,000 paying subs who are renewing their subscriptions at a 98% rate and fantastic advertisers who love our brand and keep coming back for more because they get results. Pay attention to them, not the haters.”
