The Economist: After years of shrinking ambitions and cost-cutting under its previous owners, Washington Posties are experiencing a period of expansion and excitement under new owner Jeff Bezos. As other U.S. papers have continued to cut staff, the Post has hired more than 100 newsroom employees since the takeover was announced. In its revamp, the Post is following some of Amazon’s tactics. Much as Bezos has made his e-commerce firm concentrate on building scale first, and worrying about profits later, he is making his newspaper concentrate first on building a broader national and international audience.
