NEW YORK (AP) — Jeff Bezos is hoping the strategic approach that’s made Amazon such a success will help revive the struggling Washington Post.
In his first interview since announcing his $250 million purchase of the storied newspaper last month, Bezos told The Post that three ideas have propelled Amazon’s success: Put the customer first. Invest. And be patient.
Amazon’s CEO is optimistic these ideas will translate well to The Washington Post and turn around its business.
Bezos is visiting today and Wednesday. The sale is expected to close next month.
