Ruth Marks, who recently resigned as a Washington Post columnist after four decades, said she had separated from the paper after voting on a billionaire owner of the paper because her job is to tell readers, “I don’t think I should think of Jeff Bezos.”
I A New York The piece published after 48 hours of his resignation, Marx shared more details about the events that led to his departure – and there raised concerns that Bezos’ changes could mean what could mean for the future of paper opinion coverage. Includes the piece of New York Marx’s written column, which was raised by the post by the post of the post by the chief executive and publisher of the post.
A week ago, Bezos announced that the opinion section would focus on two “pillars”, personal freedoms and free markets, while “the opposition to these pillars would be left to publish by others.” Multiple post staff has publicly demanded a change, which is said to be because of 75,000 readers end their subscriptions In less than 48 hours, and Roy Editor David Shiple Resigned After asking to lead the Over Hold Open Desk. Marx’s blocked pieces only raised issues of restoration of Bezos.
Marx’s column According to a New York piece, the post was allegedly terminated by meeting the “high bar” and being “very speculative”, because until the new opinion editor is not named, the post of the post will not be named as the editor.
When Marx asked to meet Lewis on his choice to end his column, his request was denied “because his decision was final.” At the same time when Marx says he resigned.
Marx called his column “attracting a shameful place”. The columns, as they say, are not mentioned in the long -term efforts of Bezos to be kind to President Donald Trump, nor raise questions about the goals of Bezos. It just does not agree with Bezos’ decision.
“I’m sure, running it will increase the reputation of the post, not weaken it,” she writes in New York.
Columnist readers owe “Our best decisions on a particular issue”, she writes, saying that, by doing so, she is asking consumers to “trust” that they are not saying “how to say or what to say or what to say, or to stay away from dangerous waters.”
“But once the changes are implemented, I am afraid that readers will no longer be able to rely on such assurances, because Bezos, as I read his message, told them that they could not.”
The post did not respond to a comment request.
In a sharp column, Marx with Bezos “disagreement with respect”, saying that changes are “within his prejudice” and argues that “reducing the limit of acceptable opinion is a unintentional course, which disagrees and reduces our readers.” “The column personally does not call Bezos but raises concerns about its new order.
With the new mandate of the changed feedback desk, Marx writes that he will no longer be assured of “fear (frightened)” readers that the columnist will provide them with “best decisions on a particular issue.” And she says, “She is asking many readers not to doubt that Bezos’s personal business interests have no role here.”
Matt Murray, Post’s Executive Editor, On the same day, an important restoration of the paper’s newsroom was announced, such as Marx’s resignation, the purpose of the reorganization would be to meet “all the audience where they are”, in which “maximum story shapes and focus are being focused.” Murray said in a town hall after the same day According to him, he would not be “here if I thought there was editorial interference from above.” PrestigeEmphasizing that changes in Bezos’ opinion will not bring blood to the newsroom.
Although this is probably true – at least for the moment- The promise of the bizos. This diverse view will not be welcomed. This post is already being fulfilled. Billionaire’s new mandate, who wrote in Opide Aid of October that they are ”Also A complicated for post“The new feedback is already raising questions about the approach of the new opinion for the editorial pieces. Since this post is to win old users and win new people. It is visible, it is at risk of separating readers and posing a threat to readers.
The waves coming from the changes of the bezos come the same way Faith In the news media Is on a Less all the time. But even when news publisher struggles to maintain and increase confidence, their billionaire media owners Continue changes that continue risky reputation.
In October, several articles, including the post, stopped Vice President Kamla Harris’ confirmation for the president in the 11th hour. Since Trump’s November victory, Bezos has not stopped being compatible with the president, recently with Amazon withdrew rights in relation to “apprentices”.
Post is not the only paper that is encountered. On March 5, a new AI tool in the Los Angeles Times that was introduced at the request Billionaire Patrick Swon Sheng In a piece of an opinion, he expressed sympathy with the Clicks Klan. This is another example of a storey newspaper in which the share of the opinion can be managed as the news industry is suffering from changes in technology, media and political scenes.
For the post, winning users returning is becoming a long order. Although the newsroom is different from the opinion, this post has to believe that this is true.
Really complicated.
