HarperCollins is releasing an e-original about the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site with another News Corp.-owned unit, FOX News. The enhanced e-book, Rise of Freedom: The New World Trade Center, is the first project of its kind the publisher has done with the news channel and the $6.99 title will be release on August 23.

The enhanced e-book will feature videos and pictures of the construction work that has gone on at Ground Zero over the past decade; a rep at HC said the the majority of the footage--which includes over 85 pictures and 15 videos--has appeared on FOX, with the exception of one animated clip.

Anchor Shepard Smith will be featured in many of the videos and will also share his personal experiences as a reporter who was in downtown Manhattan on 9/11, covering the event. Maria Alessi, president and publisher of HarperMedia, said the e-book was created specifically for the "new generation of reading devices" and the deal between the publisher and FOX News allowed for the creation of "a new kind of book." HC also said it plans on doing more e-originals with FOX News.
