Post and other newspapers for $250 million.
The longtime publisher, The Washington Post Co., announced the deal Monday.
Bezos is buying the paper as an individual. Amazon.com Inc. is not involved.
Washington Post chairman and CEO Donald Graham called Bezos a "uniquely good
new owner." He said the decision was made after years of newspaper industry
challenges. The company, which owns the Kaplan education business and
several TV stations, will change its name but didn't say what the new name
will be.
Bezos said in a statement that he understands the Post's "critical role" in
Washington and said its values won't change. |
