Can the Washington Post Still Serve DC?
from City Cast DC · host City Cast
What in the world is going on at The Washington Post? Our city’s venerable daily is hemorrhaging employees and going through a wild change in its identity. And it's weird because the last thing a lot of folks might remember is that the news organization seemed until recently to be swimming in Jeff Bezos’ money. Paul Farhi spent years writing about the industry for the Post, and more recently has turned his eye on his former employer. He’s here to talk about how things got to this point.
