Jeff Bezos to Expand Washington Post Beyond DC

Politico: Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron told C-SPAN that the paper could become a truly international news organization under the leadership of Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos. Before Bezos purchased the Post for $250 million in 2013, Baron said, the paper had pursued a strategy focused on local journalism. But Bezos changed all that. “The strategy in the previous era was articulated as for and about Washington. … Now, under Jeff Bezos, our strategy is to become a true national news organization, and then maybe even international over time.”
