China's publishing industry faces challenges
China's publishing industry urged to be competitive
Washington Post Chairman and Chief Executive Donald E. Graham, whose family owns the paper, said it would be better served with another owner.
"I, along with Katharine Weymouth and our board of directors,
decided5 to sell only after years of familiar newspaper-industry challenges made us wonder if there might be another owner who would be better for the Post," Graham said.
"Jeff Bezos' proven technology and business genius, his long-term approach and his personal
decency6 make him a uniquely good new owner for the Post."
The transaction covers The Washington Post and other publishing businesses, including the Express newspaper, The Gazette Newspapers, Southern Maryland Newspapers, Fairfax County Times, El Tiempo Latino and Greater Washington Publishing.
