Wash Post—new editor from WSJ!?

[Anonymous]

He used to work in Murdoch land. I also see they removed “Democracy Dies in Darkness” and now “Independent Newspaper”. He is editor through the election. Bezos shows his cards—not a pretty sight.

Democracy Dies in Darkness is still the only text on the screen as soon as the Post app opens. I hope it’s not excised as so has been under Bezos.

Oh good to know. I had the print version today and noticed but perhaps just that section?

Can't speak for all of us WaPo employees, but I'm not happy....

He's right. WaPo needs to get back to reporting and journalism and ease up on the editorializing and pontificating.

It used to be a good newspaper. Maybe it can be again.

Sorry, not the new editor, the new publisher. Although he's wrong about AI. They'll figure that out pretty quick.

I've been a digital subscriber for about 10 years. I live in flyover country now. In the '90s, I used to buy print copies from a box to read on the Metro to work.

I always felt slightly creeped out by the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" motto. I expect the press to be looking to preserve democracy but that motto gave off a slight whiff of daily dystopia that I could have done without.

I feel like there have been some interesting coverage experiments lately but some of the core world news and U.S. politics has been less compelling. I can't say why but maybe it's because the world is in endless mistake repetition mode.

I wish the Post luck with its latest rejuvenation.

Gross. WSJ is diabolical.

The Post is barely a shadow of its former self. At this point I’m not sure anything or anyone can save it.

I’ve been a faithful reader for 40 years and just cancelled my subscription. Going to try NY Times. Maybe WaPo can get back on track. Maybe this editor can help.

+1 WAPO lost credibility during its extreme left Covid-era.

The Grey Lady is over, too. Recently cancelled my subscription in favor of WSJ and Bloomberg.

NYT is also SJW newspaper at this point so it won’t be better.

What are you insinuating.
