This is a paper with a deep heritage.
It's about 150 years old.
They're coming up on their 150th anniversary.
It's been known for doing the most ambitious work for holding power to account, particularly government, the politicians at the highest possible levels.
And now it will be a news organization that's severely diminished.
I mean, they've gone through a round of cuts.
But now the news organization will have fewer people than it had when Bezos actually acquired the Post in 2013.
We had expanded tremendously over the years.
He invested.
He spoke forcefully and eloquently for our mission, for the press in general.
He resisted pressure at the time from Donald Trump, tremendous pressure as a matter of fact.
And now we're seeing something entirely different.
And what I think is missing now is some clear contemporary vision for what the Post should be.
They're talking about a reset.
It looks like more like a retreat to me.
And I'm worried about that because we need reporters on the ground in this country and in a closed zone community in the Washington metro area, but also around the world.
And they're going to have fewer of them.
And that means fewer reasons to read the post.
I was.
I started at the beginning of 2013.
