LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas — The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette is turning 200-years-old this year but its legacy and tradition is not stopping the newspaper from moving full force into the future.

Now, Arkansans can purchase an iPad subscription which includes a free iPad. The iPad offers an exact replica of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette with added features.

"It's a lot more interactive. We have slide shows. We have video. You know, when the Arkansas River flooded a few weeks ago, we had ten videos on the front page," said Publisher Walter Hussman.

Subscribers can also use the iPad for email, apps, music and more.
