Apple chief Steve Jobs has been visiting prominent US newspaper publishers to get deals for the iPad, a rumor today insists. The co-founder reportedly showed up at the New York Times and Wall Street Journal for demos that were either kept "off the record" or else deliberately closed to all but a select group of people. The Times is also said by New York Magazine to have held an executive dinner with Jobs, though there it was mostly to show his iPad and explain his view of media.
