Mum’s the word among most media companies as to their plans – if any – to provide iterations of their news products for the forthcoming Apple Watch. But with the smartwatch’s expected launch in March, some in the industry are providing a glimpse into what they have planned for the wearable device.

Adam Symson, SVP and chief digital officer at E.W. Scripps Co., says he sees iOS and the existing lineup of Apple products as “terrific distribution platforms,” and expects the same from Apple Watch. He says there’s much potential on the wearables front, and Apple is making a big splash with its smartwatch.
