Huffington Post reporting:
NEW YORK -- Fred Ryan, the incoming publisher and chief executive of
The Washington Post, said Tuesday that the news organization plans to
continue expanding under owner Jeff Bezos.
"You can’t shrink your
way to success," Ryan said in an interview with The Huffington Post.
"Growth is the way to continue to build a strong news organization."
Such
statements will surely be welcome in the Post's newsroom, which
witnessed staff reductions, the closing of domestic bureaus, and
diminished national and international ambitions during the seven-year
tenure of outgoing publisher Katharine Weymouth...
...
The Post, Ryan stressed, needs to focus on the needs of readers -- wherever, whenever and however they consume and share news..
“News is a big space,” Ryan said. “People are consuming more news than
they have ever before, on more platforms than ever before. It’s not a
two-horse race. It’s not even a horse race. This is a place where there
can be multiple winners. I have no doubt The Washington Post will be
one.”..
