SEATTLE, Saturday: For those who love the weight and feel of a print newspaper in their hands, M+AD recommends you to this marvellous, inspirational Canvas story about how Amazon’s Jeff Bezos saved the Washington Post (scroll down for the link).
The Washington Post, of course, is the paper that broke the Watergate Scandal. One of the world’s great newspapers.
“He turned book sales into the world’s biggest business, and proved that print still rules.”
Bezos is a capitalist we can all look up to. He turned book sales into the world’s biggest business and proved that print still rules; he’s a philanthropist, a champion of human rights, and a decent American.
“The values of the Post do not need changing,” he told the paper’s shareholders. “The paper’s duty will remain to its readers and not to the private interests of its owners.”
