Jeffrey P. Bezos, Amazon’s founder and the prospective new owner of
The Washington Post, assured newsroom employees on Wednesday that he was committed to preserving quality journalism, investing in news and making sure
The Post adhered to his underlying philosophy about content: “Don’t be boring.”
Over the course of the day, he gave some indication of the kind of journalism that interested him, answered questions about the
Post’s coverage of Amazon and did not disguise his interest at the intersection of his businesses, telling an afternoon meeting that “it should be as easy to get a subscription to
The Post as it is to buy diapers on Amazon,” according to one employee who attended the meeting.
