The Washington Post and the Ugly Truth of the Media Business

This morning, I read Brian Stelter’s just-published opus in The Atlantic on the travails of The Washington Post and its owner, Jeff Bezos, with much interest.

The paper’s business struggles and leadership crisis are a constant closed-door subject among news leaders right now. The piece is excellent and full of details about Bezos’ hands-off approach, raising important questions about how one of the world’s most successful businesspeople will lead the company into the future.
