The Post was founded in 1877. In its early years, it went through several owners and struggled both financially and editorially. Financier Eugene Meyer purchased it out of bankruptcy in 1933 and revived its health and reputation, work continued by his successors Katharine and Phil Graham (Meyer's daughter and son-in-law), who bought out several rival publications. The Post's 1971 printing of the Pentagon Papers helped spur opposition to the Vietnam War. Subsequently, in the best-known episode in the newspaper's history, reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein led the American press's investigation into what became known as the Watergate scandal, which resulted in the 1974 resignation of President Richard Nixon. The advent of the internet expanded the Post's national and international reach. In October 2013, the Graham family sold the newspaper to Nash Holdings, a holding company owned by Jeff Bezos, for $250 million.[8][9]

As of 2020 the newspaper had won the Pulitzer Prize 65 times for its work,[10] the second-most of any publication (after The New York Times).[11] It is considered a newspaper of record in the U.S.[12][13][14] Post journalists have also received 18 Nieman Fellowships and 368 White House News Photographers Association awards.[15][16] The paper is well known for its political reporting and is one of the few remaining American newspapers to operate foreign bureaus.[17]

Overview

 
The previous headquarters of The Washington Post on 15th Street NW in Washington, D.C.

The Washington Post is regarded as one of the leading daily American newspapers[18] along with The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal. The Post has distinguished itself through its political reporting on the workings of the White House, Congress, and other aspects of the U.S. government. It is considered a newspaper of record in the U.S.[12][13][14]

Unlike The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post does not print an edition for distribution away from the East Coast. In 2009, the newspaper ceased publication of its National Weekly Edition (a combination of stories from the week's print editions), due to shrinking circulation.[19] The majority of its newsprint readership is in the District of Columbia and its suburbs in Maryland and Northern Virginia.[20]

The newspaper is one of a few U.S. newspapers with foreign bureaus, which are located in Baghdad, Beijing, Beirut, Berlin, Brussels, Cairo, Dakar, Hong Kong, Islamabad, Istanbul, Jerusalem, London, Mexico City, Moscow, Nairobi, New Delhi, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Tokyo and Toronto.[21] In November 2009, it announced the closure of its U.S. regional bureaus—Chicago, Los Angeles and New York—as part of an increased focus on "political stories and local news coverage in Washington."[22] The newspaper has local bureaus in Maryland (Annapolis, Montgomery County, Prince George's County, and Southern Maryland) and Virginia (Alexandria, Fairfax, Loudoun County, Richmond, and Prince William County).[23]

As of May 2013, its average weekday circulation was 474,767, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, making it the seventh largest newspaper in the country by circulation, behind USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Daily News, and the New York Post. Although its circulation (like almost all newspapers) has been slipping, it has one of the highest market penetration rates of any metropolitan news daily.

For many decades, the Post had its main office at 1150 15th Street NW. This real estate remained with Graham Holdings when the newspaper was sold to Jeff Bezos' Nash Holdings in 2013. Graham Holdings sold 1150 15th Street (along with 1515 L Street, 1523 L Street, and land beneath 1100 15th Street) for US$159 million in November 2013. The Washington Post continued to lease space at 1150 L Street NW.[24] In May 2014, The Washington Post leased the west tower of One Franklin Square, a high-rise building at 1301 K Street NW in Washington, D.C. The newspaper moved into its new offices on December 14, 2015.[25]

Mary Jordan was the founding editor, head of content, and moderator for Washington Post Live,[26][27] The Post's editorial events business, which organizes political debates, conferences and news events for the media company, including "The 40th Anniversary of Watergate" in June 2012 that featured key Watergate figures including former White House counsel John Dean, Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, and reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, which was held at the Watergate hotel. Regular hosts include Frances Stead Sellers[28][29][30] Lois Romano was formerly the editor of Washington Post Live.[31]

The Post has its own exclusive zip code, 20071.

History

Founding and early period

The newspaper was founded in 1877 by Stilson Hutchins (1838–1912), and in 1880 it added a Sunday edition, becoming the city's first newspaper to publish seven days a week.[34]

 
The Washington Post and Union masthead, April 16, 1878

In April 1878, about four months into publication, The Washington Post purchased The Washington Union, a competing newspaper which was founded by John Lynch in late 1877. The Union had only been in operation about six months at the time of the acquisition. The combined newspaper was published from the Globe Building as The Washington Post and Union beginning on April 15, 1878, with a circulation of 13,000.[35][36] The Post and Union name was used about two weeks until April 29, 1878, returning to the original masthead the following day.[37]

In 1889, Hutchins sold the newspaper to Frank Hatton, a former Postmaster General, and Beriah Wilkins, a former Democratic congressman from Ohio. To promote the newspaper, the new owners requested the leader of the United States Marine Band, John Philip Sousa, to compose a march for the newspaper's essay contest awards ceremony. Sousa composed "The Washington Post".[38] It became the standard music to accompany the two-step, a late 19th-century dance craze,[39] and remains one of Sousa's best-known works.

In 1893, the newspaper moved to a building at 14th and E streets NW, where it would remain until 1950. This building combined all functions of the newspaper into one headquarters – newsroom, advertising, typesetting, and printing – that ran 24 hours per day.[40]

In 1898, during the Spanish–American War, the Post printed Clifford K. Berryman's classic illustration Remember the Maine, which became the battle-cry for American sailors during the War. In 1902, Berryman published another famous cartoon in the Post – Drawing the Line in Mississippi. This cartoon depicts President Theodore Roosevelt showing compassion for a small bear cub and inspired New York store owner Morris Michtom to create the teddy bear.[41]

Wilkins acquired Hatton's share of the newspaper in 1894 at Hatton's death. After Wilkins' death in 1903, his sons John and Robert ran the Post for two years before selling it in 1905 to John Roll McLean, owner of the Cincinnati Enquirer. During the Wilson presidency, the Post was credited with the "most famous newspaper typo" in D.C. history according to Reason magazine; the Post intended to report that President Wilson had been "entertaining" his future-wife Mrs. Galt, but instead wrote that he had been "entering" Mrs. Galt.[42][43][44]

When John McLean died in 1916, he put the newspaper in trust, having little faith that his playboy son Edward "Ned" McLean could manage his inheritance. Ned went to court and broke the trust, but, under his management, the newspaper slumped toward ruin. He bled the paper for his lavish lifestyle, and used it to promote political agendas.[45]

During the Red Summer of 1919 the Post supported the white mobs and even ran a front-page story which advertised the location at which white servicemen were planning to meet to carry out attacks on black Washingtonians.[46]

Meyer–Graham period

In 1929, financier Eugene Meyer (who had run the War Finance Corp. since World War I[47]) secretly made an offer of $5 million for the Post, but he was rebuffed by Ned McLean.[48][49] On June 1, 1933, Meyer bought the paper at a bankruptcy auction for $825,000 three weeks after stepping down as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. He had bid anonymously, and was prepared to go up to $2 million, far higher than the other bidders.[50][51] These included William Randolph Hearst, who had long hoped to shut down the ailing Post to benefit his own Washington newspaper presence.[52]

The Post's health and reputation were restored under Meyer's ownership. In 1946, he was succeeded as publisher by his son-in-law, Philip Graham.[53] Meyer eventually gained the last laugh over Hearst, who had owned the old Washington Times and the Herald before their 1939 merger that formed the Times-Herald. This was in turn bought by and merged into the Post in 1954.[54] The combined paper was officially named The Washington Post and Times-Herald until 1973, although the Times-Herald portion of the nameplate became less and less prominent over time. The merger left the Post with two remaining local competitors, the Washington Star (Evening Star) and The Washington Daily News which merged in 1972, forming the Washington Star-News.[55][56]

After Phil Graham's death in 1963, control of The Washington Post Company passed to his wife Katharine Graham (1917–2001), who was also Eugene Meyer's daughter. Few women had run prominent national newspapers in the United States. Katharine Graham described her own anxiety and lack of confidence as she stepped into a leadership role in her autobiography. She served as publisher from 1969 to 1979.[57]

Graham took The Washington Post Company public on June 15, 1971, in the midst of the Pentagon Papers controversy. A total of 1,294,000 shares were offered to the public at $26 per share.[58][59] By the end of Graham's tenure as CEO in 1991, the stock was worth $888 per share, not counting the effect of an intermediate 4:1 stock split.[60]

During this time, Graham also oversaw the Post company's diversification purchase of the for-profit education and training company Kaplan, Inc. for $40 million in 1984.[61] Twenty years later, Kaplan had surpassed the Post newspaper as the company's leading contributor to income, and by 2010 Kaplan accounted for more than 60% of the entire company revenue stream.[62]

Executive editor Ben Bradlee put the newspaper's reputation and resources behind reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who, in a long series of articles, chipped away at the story behind the 1972 burglary of Democratic National Committee offices in the Watergate complex in Washington. The Post's dogged coverage of the story, the outcome of which ultimately played a major role in the resignation of President Richard Nixon, won the newspaper a Pulitzer Prize in 1973.[63]

In 1972, the "Book World" section was introduced with Pulitzer Prize-winning critic William McPherson as its first editor.[64] It featured Pulitzer Prize-winning critics such as Jonathan Yardley and Michael Dirda, the latter of whom established his career as a critic at the Post. In 2009, after 37 years, with great reader outcries and protest, The Washington Post Book World as a standalone insert was discontinued, the last issue being Sunday, February 15, 2009,[65] along with a general reorganization of the paper, such as placing the Sunday editorials on the back page of the main front section rather than the "Outlook" section and distributing some other locally oriented "op-ed" letters and commentaries in other sections.[66] However, book reviews are still published in the Outlook section on Sundays and in the Style section the rest of the week, as well as online.[66]

In 1975, the pressmen's union went on strike. The Post hired replacement workers to replace the pressmen's union, and other unions returned to work in February 1976.[67]

Donald E. Graham, Katharine's son, succeeded her as a publisher in 1979.[57]

In 1995, the domain name washingtonpost.com was purchased. That same year, a failed effort to create an online news repository called Digital Ink launched. The following year it was shut down and the first website was launched in June 1996.[68]

Jeff Bezos era (2013–present)

In late September 2013, Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post and other local publications, websites, and real estate[69][70][71] for US$250 million,[72][73][74] transferring ownership to Nash Holdings LLC, Bezos's private investment company.[73] The paper's former parent company, which retained some other assets such as Kaplan and a group of TV stations, was renamed Graham Holdings Company shortly after the sale.[8][75]

Nash Holdings, including the Post, is operated separately from technology company Amazon, which Bezos founded and where he is as of 2022 executive chairman and the largest single shareholder, with 12.7% of voting rights.[76][77]

Bezos said he has a vision that recreates "the 'daily ritual' of reading the Post as a bundle, not merely a series of individual stories..."[78] He has been described as a "hands-off owner", holding teleconference calls with executive editor Martin Baron every two weeks.[79] Bezos appointed Fred Ryan (founder and CEO of Politico) to serve as publisher and chief executive officer. This signaled Bezos' intent to shift the Post to a more digital focus with a national and global readership.[80]

In 2015 the Post moved from the building it owned at 1150 15th Street to a leased space three blocks away at One Franklin Square on K Street.[81] Since 2014 the Post launched an online personal finance section,[82] a blog, and a podcast with a retro theme.[83][84] The Post won the 2020 Webby People's Voice Award for News & Politics in the Social and Web categories.[85]

In 2017, the paper hired columnist Jamal Khashoggi, who was murdered by Saudi agents in Istanbul in 2018.[86][87]

Political stance

1933–2000

When financier Eugene Meyer bought the bankrupt Post in 1933, he assured the public he would not be beholden to any party.[88] But as a leading Republican (it was his old friend Herbert Hoover who had made him Federal Reserve Chairman in 1930), his opposition to FDR's New Deal colored the paper's editorial stance as well as its news coverage. This included editorializing "news" stories written by Meyer under a pseudonym.[89][90][91] His wife Agnes Ernst Meyer was a journalist from the other end of the spectrum politically. The Post ran many of her pieces including tributes to her personal friends John Dewey and Saul Alinsky.[92][93][94][95]

Eugene Meyer became head of the World Bank in 1946, and he named his son-in-law Phil Graham to succeed him as Post publisher. The post-war years saw the developing friendship of Phil and Kay Graham with the Kennedys, the Bradlees and the rest of the "Georgetown Set" (many Harvard alumni) that would color the Post's political orientation.[96] Kay Graham's most memorable Georgetown soirée guest list included British diplomat/communist spy Donald Maclean.[97][98]

The Post is credited with coining the term "McCarthyism" in a 1950 editorial cartoon by Herbert Block.[99] Depicting buckets of tar, it made fun of Sen. Joseph McCarthy's "tarring" tactics, i.e., smear campaigns and character assassination against those targeted by his accusations. Sen. McCarthy was attempting to do for the Senate what the House Un-American Activities Committee had been doing for years—investigating Soviet espionage in America. The HUAC made Richard Nixon nationally known for his role in the Hiss/Chambers case that exposed communist spying in the State Department. The committee had evolved from the McCormack-Dickstein Committee of the 1930s.[100]

 
Two United States soldiers and one South Vietnamese soldier waterboard a captured North Vietnamese prisoner of war. The publication of the image on the front cover of The Washington Post on 21 January 1968 led to the court-martial of one of the United States soldiers, although The Washington Post described waterboarding as "fairly common".[101][102]

Phil Graham's friendship with JFK remained strong until their untimely deaths in 1963.[103] FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover reportedly told the new President Lyndon B. Johnson, "I don't have much influence with the Post because I frankly don't read it. I view it like the Daily Worker."[104][105]

Ben Bradlee became the editor-in-chief in 1968, and Kay Graham officially became the publisher in 1969, paving the way for the aggressive reporting of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate scandals. The Post strengthened public opposition to the Vietnam War in 1971 when it published the Pentagon Papers.[106] In the mid-1970s, some conservatives referred to the Post as "Pravda on the Potomac" because of its perceived left-wing bias in both reporting and editorials.[107] Since then, the appellation has been used by both liberal and conservative critics of the newspaper.[108][109]

2000–present

In the PBS documentary Buying the War, journalist Bill Moyers said in the year prior to the Iraq War there were 27 editorials supporting the Bush administration's ambitions to invade the country. National security correspondent Walter Pincus reported that he had been ordered to cease his reports that were critical of the administration.[110] According to author and journalist Greg Mitchell: "By the Post's own admission, in the months before the war, it ran more than 140 stories on its front page promoting the war, while contrary information got lost".[111]

On March 23, 2007, Chris Matthews said on his television program, "The Washington Post is not the liberal newspaper it was [...] I have been reading it for years and it is a neocon newspaper".[112] It has regularly published a mixture of op-ed columnists, with some of them left-leaning (including E. J. Dionne, Dana Milbank, Greg Sargent, and Eugene Robinson), and some of them right-leaning (including George Will, Marc Thiessen, Michael Gerson and Charles Krauthammer).

In a study published on April 18, 2007, by Yale professors Alan Gerber, Dean Karlan, and Daniel Bergan, citizens were given a subscription to either the conservative-leaning Washington Times or the liberal-leaning Washington Post to see the effect that media has on voting patterns. Gerber had estimated based on his work that the Post slanted as much to the left as the Times did to the right. Gerber found those who were given a free subscription of the Post were 7.9–11.4% more likely to vote for the Democratic candidate for governor than those assigned to the control group, depending on the adjustment for the date on which individual participants were surveyed and the survey interviewer; however, people who received the Times were also more likely than controls to vote for the Democrat, with an effect approximately 60% as large as that estimated for the Post.[113][114] The study authors said that sampling error might have played a role in the effect of the conservative-leaning Times, as might the fact that the Democratic candidate took more conservative-leaning positions than is typical for his party, and "the month prior to the post-election survey was a difficult period for President Bush, one in which his overall approval rating fell by approximately 4 percentage points nationwide. It appears that heightened exposure to both papers' news coverage, despite opposing ideological slants, moved public opinion away from Republicans."[114]

In November 2007, the newspaper was criticized by independent journalist Robert Parry for reporting on anti-Obama chain e-mails without sufficiently emphasizing to its readers the false nature of the anonymous claims.[115] In 2009, Parry criticized the newspaper for its allegedly unfair reporting on liberal politicians, including Vice President Al Gore and President Barack Obama.[116]

Responding to criticism of the newspaper's coverage during the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, former Post ombudsman Deborah Howell wrote: "The opinion pages have strong conservative voices; the editorial board includes centrists and conservatives; and there were editorials critical of Obama. Yet opinion was still weighted toward Obama."[117] According to a 2009 Oxford University Press book by Richard Davis on the impact of blogs on American politics, liberal bloggers link to The Washington Post and The New York Times more often than other major newspapers; however, conservative bloggers also link predominantly to liberal newspapers.[118]

In mid-September 2016, Matthew Ingram of Forbes joined Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept, and Trevor Timm of The Guardian in criticizing The Washington Post for "demanding that [former National Security Agency contractor Edward] Snowden ... stand trial on espionage charges".[119][120][121][122]

In February 2017, the Post adopted the slogan "Democracy Dies in Darkness" for its masthead.[123]

Since 2011, the Post has been running a column called "The Fact Checker" that the Post describes as a "truth squad".[124] The Fact Checker received a $250,000 grant from Google News Initiative/YouTube to expand production of video fact checks.[124]

Political endorsements

In the vast majority of U.S. elections, for federal, state, and local office, the Post editorial board has endorsed Democratic candidates.[125] The paper's editorial board and endorsement decision-making are separate from newsroom operations.[125] Until 1976, the Post did not regularly make endorsements in presidential elections. Since it endorsed Jimmy Carter in 1976, the Post has endorsed Democrats in presidential elections, and has never endorsed a Republican for president in the general election,[125] although in the 1988 presidential election, the Post declined to endorse either Governor Michael Dukakis (the Democratic candidate) or Vice President George H. W. Bush (the Republican candidate).[125][126] The Post editorial board endorsed Barack Obama in 2008[127] and 2012;[128] Hillary Clinton in 2016;[129] and Joe Biden for 2020.[130]

While the newspaper predominantly endorses Democrats in congressional, state, and local elections, it has occasionally endorsed Republican candidates.[125] While the paper has not endorsed Republican candidates for governor of Virginia,[125] it endorsed Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich's unsuccessful bid for a second term in 2006.[125][131] In 2006, it repeated its historic endorsements of every Republican incumbent for Congress in Northern Virginia.[132] The Post editorial board endorsed Virginia's Republican U.S. Senator John Warner in his Senate reelection campaign in 1990, 1996 and 2002; the paper's most recent endorsement of a Maryland Republican for U.S. Senate was in the 1980s, when the paper endorsed Senator Charlies "Mac" Mathias Jr.[125] In U.S. House of Representatives elections, moderate Republicans in Virginia and Maryland, such as Wayne Gilchrest, Thomas M. Davis, and Frank Wolf, have enjoyed the support of the Post; the Post also has endorsed some Republicans, such as Carol Schwartz, in some D.C. races.[125]

Criticism and controversies

"Jimmy's World" fabrication

In September 1980, a Sunday feature story appeared on the front page of the Post titled "Jimmy's World" in which reporter Janet Cooke wrote a profile of the life of an eight-year-old heroin addict.[133] Although some within the Post doubted the story's veracity, the paper's editors defended it, and assistant managing editor Bob Woodward submitted the story to the Pulitzer Prize Board at Columbia University for consideration.[134] Cooke was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing on April 13, 1981. The story was subsequently found to be a complete fabrication, and the Pulitzer was returned.[135]

Private "salon" solicitation

In July 2009, in the midst of an intense debate over health care reform, The Politico reported that a health-care lobbyist had received an "astonishing" offer of access to the Post's "health-care reporting and editorial staff."[136] Post publisher Katharine Weymouth had planned a series of exclusive dinner parties or "salons" at her private residence, to which she had invited prominent lobbyists, trade group members, politicians, and business people.[137] Participants were to be charged $25,000 to sponsor a single salon, and $250,000 for 11 sessions, with the events being closed to the public and to the non-Post press.[138] Politico's revelation gained a somewhat mixed response in Washington[139][140][141] as it gave the impression that the parties' sole purpose was to allow insiders to purchase face time with Post staff.

Almost immediately following the disclosure, Weymouth canceled the salons, saying, "This should never have happened." White House counsel Gregory B. Craig reminded officials that under federal ethics rules, they need advance approval for such events. Post Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli, who was named on the flier as one of the salon's "Hosts and Discussion Leaders", said he was "appalled" by the plan, adding, "It suggests that access to Washington Post journalists was available for purchase."[142][137]

China Daily advertising supplements

Dating back to 2011, The Washington Post began to include "China Watch" advertising supplements provided by China Daily, an English language newspaper owned by the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party, on the print and online editions. Although the header to the online "China Watch" section included the text "A Paid Supplement to The Washington Post", James Fallows of The Atlantic suggested that the notice was not clear enough for most readers to see.[143] Distributed to the Post and multiple newspapers around the world, the "China Watch" advertising supplements range from four to eight pages and appear at least monthly. According to a 2018 report by The Guardian, "China Watch" uses "a didactic, old-school approach to propaganda."[144]

In 2020, a report by Freedom House titled "Beijing's Global Megaphone" was also critical of the Post and other newspapers for distributing "China Watch".[145][146] In the same year, 35 Republican members of the U.S. Congress wrote a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice in February 2020 calling for an investigation of potential FARA violations by China Daily.[147] The letter named an article that appeared in the Post, "Education Flaws Linked to Hong Kong Unrest", as an example of "articles [that] serve as cover for China's atrocities, including ... its support for the crackdown in Hong Kong."[148] According to The Guardian, the Post had already stopped running "China Watch" in 2019.[149]

Employee relations

In 1986, five employees (including Newspaper Guild unit chairman Thomas R. Sherwood and assistant Maryland editor Claudia Levy) sued The Washington Post for overtime pay, stating that the newspaper had claimed that budgets did not allow for overtime wages.[150]

In June 2018, over 400 employees of The Washington Post signed an open letter to the owner Jeff Bezos demanding "fair wages; fair benefits for retirement, family leave and health care; and a fair amount of job security." The open letter was accompanied by video testimonials from employees, who alleged "shocking pay practices" despite record growth in subscriptions at the newspaper, with salaries rising an average of $10 per week, which the letter claimed was less than half the rate of inflation. The petition followed on a year of unsuccessful negotiations between The Washington Post Guild and upper management over pay and benefit increases.[151]

In 2020, The Post suspended reporter Felicia Sonmez after she posted a series of tweets about the 2003 rape allegation against basketball star Kobe Bryant after Bryant's death. She was reinstated after over 200 Post journalists wrote an open letter criticizing the paper's decision.[152] In July 2021, Sonmez sued The Post and several of its top editors, alleging workplace discrimination; the suit was dismissed in March 2022, with the court determining that Sonmez had failed to make plausible claims.[153] In June 2022, Sonmez engaged in a Twitter feud with fellow Post staffers David Weigel (criticizing him over what he later described as "an offensive joke") and Jose A. Del Real (who accused Sonmez of "engaging in repeated and targeted public harassment of a colleague").[154] Following the feud, the newspaper suspended Weigel for a month for violating the company's social media guidelines, and the newspaper's executive editor Sally Buzbee sent out a newsroom-wide memorandum directing employees to "Be constructive and collegial" in their interactions with colleagues.[154] The newspaper fired Sonmez, writing in an emailed termination letter that she had engaged in "misconduct that includes insubordination, maligning your co-workers online and violating The Post's standards on workplace collegiality and inclusivity."[155]

Lawsuit by Covington Catholic High School student

In 2019, Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann filed a defamation lawsuit against the Post, alleging that it libeled him in seven articles regarding the January 2019 Lincoln Memorial confrontation between Covington students and the Indigenous Peoples March.[156][157] A federal judge dismissed the case, ruling that 30 of the 33 statements in the Post that Sandmann alleged were libelous were not, but allowed Sandmann to file an amended complaint as to three statements.[158] After Sandmann's lawyers amended the complaint, the suit was reopened on October 28, 2019.[159][160] In 2020, The Post settled the lawsuit brought by Sandmann for an undisclosed amount.[161]

Controversial op-eds and columns

Several Washington Post op-eds and columns have prompted criticism, including a number of comments on race by columnist Richard Cohen over the years,[162][163] and a controversial 2014 column on campus sexual assault by George Will.[164][165] The Post's decision to run an op-ed by Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a leader in Yemen's Houthi movement, was criticized by some activists on the basis that it provided a platform to an "anti-Western and antisemitic group supported by Iran."[166] The headline of a 2020 op-ed titled "It's time to give the elites a bigger say in choosing the president" was changed, without an editor's note, after backlash.[167] In 2022, actor Johnny Depp successfully sued ex-wife Amber Heard for an op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post where she described herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse two years after she had publicly accused him of domestic violence.

Criticism by elected officials

Former president Donald Trump repeatedly railed against The Washington Post on his Twitter account,[168] having "tweeted or retweeted criticism of the paper, tying it to Amazon more than 20 times since his campaign for president" by August 2018.[169] In addition to often attacking the paper itself, Trump used Twitter to blast various Post journalists and columnists.[170]

During the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries, Senator Bernie Sanders repeatedly criticized The Washington Post, saying that its coverage of his campaign was slanted against him and attributing this to Jeff Bezos' purchase of the newspaper.[171][172] Sanders' criticism was echoed by the socialist magazine Jacobin[173] and the progressive journalist watchdog Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting.[174] Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron responded by saying that Sanders' criticism was "baseless and conspiratorial".[175]

Edward Ned McLean could manage his inheritance Ned went to court and broke the trust but under his management the newspaper slumped toward ruin He bled the paper for his lavish lifestyle and used it to promote political agendas 45 During the Red Summer of 1919 the Post supported the white mobs and even ran a front page story which advertised the location at which white servicemen were planning to meet to carry out attacks on black Washingtonians 46 Meyer Graham period Edit In 1929 financier Eugene Meyer who had run the War Finance Corp since World War I 47 secretly made an offer of 5 million for the Post but he was rebuffed by Ned McLean 48 49 On June 1 1933 Meyer bought the paper at a bankruptcy auction for 825 000 three weeks after stepping down as Chairman of the Federal Reserve He had bid anonymously and was prepared to go up to 2 million far higher than the other bidders 50 51 These included William Randolph Hearst who had long hoped to shut down the ailing Post to benefit his own Washington newspaper presence 52 The Post s health and reputation were restored under Meyer s ownership In 1946 he was succeeded as publisher by his son in law Philip Graham 53 Meyer eventually gained the last laugh over Hearst who had owned the old Washington Times and the Herald before their 1939 merger that formed the Times Herald This was in turn bought by and merged into the Post in 1954 54 The combined paper was officially named The Washington Post and Times Herald until 1973 although the Times Herald portion of the nameplate became less and less prominent over time The merger left the Post with two remaining local competitors the Washington Star Evening Star and The Washington Daily News which merged in 1972 forming the Washington Star News 55 56 The Monday July 21 1969 edition with the headline The Eagle Has Landed Two Men Walk on the Moon After Phil Graham s death in 1963 control of The Washington Post Company passed to his wife Katharine Graham 1917 2001 who was also Eugene Meyer s daughter Few women had run prominent national newspapers in the United States Katharine Graham described her own anxiety and lack of confidence as she stepped into a leadership role in her autobiography She served as publisher from 1969 to 1979 57 Graham took The Washington Post Company public on June 15 1971 in the midst of the Pentagon Papers controversy A total of 1 294 000 shares were offered to the public at 26 per share 58 59 By the end of Graham s tenure as CEO in 1991 the stock was worth 888 per share not counting the effect of an intermediate 4 1 stock split 60 During this time Graham also oversaw the Post company s diversification purchase of the for profit education and training company Kaplan Inc for 40 million in 1984 61 Twenty years later Kaplan had surpassed the Post newspaper as the company s leading contributor to income and by 2010 Kaplan accounted for more than 60 of the entire company revenue stream 62 Executive editor Ben Bradlee put the newspaper s reputation and resources behind reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein who in a long series of articles chipped away at the story behind the 1972 burglary of Democratic National Committee offices in the Watergate complex in Washington The Post s dogged coverage of the story the outcome of which ultimately played a major role in the resignation of President Richard Nixon won the newspaper a Pulitzer Prize in 1973 63 In 1972 the Book World section was introduced with Pulitzer Prize winning critic William McPherson as its first editor 64 It featured Pulitzer Prize winning critics such as Jonathan Yardley and Michael Dirda the latter of whom established his career as a critic at the Post In 2009 after 37 years with great reader outcries and protest The Washington Post Book World as a standalone insert was discontinued the last issue being Sunday February 15 2009 65 along with a general reorganization of the paper such as placing the Sunday editorials on the back page of the main front section rather than the Outlook section and distributing some other locally oriented op ed letters and commentaries in other sections 66 However book reviews are still published in the Outlook section on Sundays and in the Style section the rest of the week as well as online 66 In 1975 the pressmen s union went on strike The Post hired replacement workers to replace the pressmen s union and other unions returned to work in February 1976 67 Donald E Graham Katharine s son succeeded her as a publisher in 1979 57 In 1995 the domain name washingtonpost com was purchased That same year a failed effort to create an online news repository called Digital Ink launched The following year it was shut down and the first website was launched in June 1996 68 Jeff Bezos era 2013 present Edit Demolition of the 15th Street headquarters in April 2016 One Franklin Square the current home of the Post In late September 2013 Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post and other local publications websites and real estate 69 70 71 for US 250 million 72 73 74 transferring ownership to Nash Holdings LLC Bezos s private investment company 73 The paper s former parent company which retained some other assets such as Kaplan and a group of TV stations was renamed Graham Holdings Company shortly after the sale 8 75 Nash Holdings including the Post is operated separately from technology company Amazon which Bezos founded and where he is as of 2022 update executive chairman and the largest single shareholder with 12 7 of voting rights 76 77 Bezos said he has a vision that recreates the daily ritual of reading the Post as a bundle not merely a series of individual stories 78 He has been described as a hands off owner holding teleconference calls with executive editor Martin Baron every two weeks 79 Bezos appointed Fred Ryan founder and CEO of Politico to serve as publisher and chief executive officer This signaled Bezos intent to shift the Post to a more digital focus with a national and global readership 80 In 2015 the Post moved from the building it owned at 1150 15th Street to a leased space three blocks away at One Franklin Square on K Street 81 Since 2014 the Post launched an online personal finance section 82 a blog and a podcast with a retro theme 83 84 The Post won the 2020 Webby People s Voice Award for News amp Politics in the Social and Web categories 85 In 2017 the paper hired columnist Jamal Khashoggi who was murdered by Saudi agents in Istanbul in 2018 86 87 Political stance Edit1933 2000 Edit When financier Eugene Meyer bought the bankrupt Post in 1933 he assured the public he would not be beholden to any party 88 But as a leading Republican it was his old friend Herbert Hoover who had made him Federal Reserve Chairman in 1930 his opposition to FDR s New Deal colored the paper s editorial stance as well as its news coverage This included editorializing news stories written by Meyer under a pseudonym 89 90 91 His wife Agnes Ernst Meyer was a journalist from the other end of the spectrum politically The Post ran many of her pieces including tributes to her personal friends John Dewey and Saul Alinsky 92 93 94 95 Eugene Meyer became head of the World Bank in 1946 and he named his son in law Phil Graham to succeed him as Post publisher The post war years saw the developing friendship of Phil and Kay Graham with the Kennedys the Bradlees and the rest of the Georgetown Set many Harvard alumni that would color the Post s political orientation 96 Kay Graham s most memorable Georgetown soiree guest list included British diplomat communist spy Donald Maclean 97 98 The Post is credited with coining the term McCarthyism in a 1950 editorial cartoon by Herbert Block 99 Depicting buckets of tar it made fun of Sen Joseph McCarthy s tarring tactics i e smear campaigns and character assassination against those targeted by his accusations Sen McCarthy was attempting to do for the Senate what the House Un American Activities Committee had been doing for years investigating Soviet espionage in America The HUAC made Richard Nixon nationally known for his role in the Hiss Chambers case that exposed communist spying in the State Department The committee had evolved from the McCormack Dickstein Committee of the 1930s 100 Two United States soldiers and one South Vietnamese soldier waterboard a captured North Vietnamese prisoner of war The publication of the image on the front cover of The Washington Post on 21 January 1968 led to the court martial of one of the United States soldiers although The Washington Post described waterboarding as fairly common 101 102 Phil Graham s friendship with JFK remained strong until their untimely deaths in 1963 103 FBI Director J Edgar Hoover reportedly told the new President Lyndon B Johnson I don t have much influence with the Post because I frankly don t read it I view it like the Daily Worker 104 105 Ben Bradlee became the editor in chief in 1968 and Kay Graham officially became the publisher in 1969 paving the way for the aggressive reporting of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate scandals The Post strengthened public opposition to the Vietnam War in 1971 when it published the Pentagon Papers 106 In the mid 1970s some conservatives referred to the Post as Pravda on the Potomac because of its perceived left wing bias in both reporting and editorials 107 Since then the appellation has been used by both liberal and conservative critics of the newspaper 108 109 2000 present Edit In the PBS documentary Buying the War journalist Bill Moyers said in the year prior to the Iraq War there were 27 editorials supporting the Bush administration s ambitions to invade the country National security correspondent Walter Pincus reported that he had been ordered to cease his reports that were critical of the administration 110 According to author and journalist Greg Mitchell By the Post s own admission in the months before the war it ran more than 140 stories on its front page promoting the war while contrary information got lost 111 On March 23 2007 Chris Matthews said on his television program The Washington Post is not the liberal newspaper it was I have been reading it for years and it is a neocon newspaper 112 It has regularly published a mixture of op ed columnists with some of them left leaning including E J Dionne Dana Milbank Greg Sargent and Eugene Robinson and some of them right leaning including George Will Marc Thiessen Michael Gerson and Charles Krauthammer In a study published on April 18 2007 by Yale professors Alan Gerber Dean Karlan and Daniel Bergan citizens were given a subscription to either the conservative leaning Washington Times or the liberal leaning Washington Post to see the effect that media has on voting patterns Gerber had estimated based on his work that the Post slanted as much to the left as the Times did to the right Gerber found those who were given a free subscription of the Post were 7 9 11 4 more likely to vote for the Democratic candidate for governor than those assigned to the control group depending on the adjustment for the date on which individual participants were surveyed and the survey interviewer however people who received the Times were also more likely than controls to vote for the Democrat with an effect approximately 60 as large as that estimated for the Post 113 114 The study authors said that sampling error might have played a role in the effect of the conservative leaning Times as might the fact that the Democratic candidate took more conservative leaning positions than is typical for his party and the month prior to the post election survey was a difficult period for President Bush one in which his overall approval rating fell by approximately 4 percentage points nationwide It appears that heightened exposure to both papers news coverage despite opposing ideological slants moved public opinion away from Republicans 114 In November 2007 the newspaper was criticized by independent journalist Robert Parry for reporting on anti Obama chain e mails without sufficiently emphasizing to its readers the false nature of the anonymous claims 115 In 2009 Parry criticized the newspaper for its allegedly unfair reporting on liberal politicians including Vice President Al Gore and President Barack Obama 116 Responding to criticism of the newspaper s coverage during the run up to the 2008 presidential election former Post ombudsman Deborah Howell wrote The opinion pages have strong conservative voices the editorial board includes centrists and conservatives and there were editorials critical of Obama Yet opinion was still weighted toward Obama 117 According to a 2009 Oxford University Press book by Richard Davis on the impact of blogs on American politics liberal bloggers link to The Washington Post and The New York Times more often than other major newspapers however conservative bloggers also link predominantly to liberal newspapers 118 In mid September 2016 Matthew Ingram of Forbes joined Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept and Trevor Timm of The Guardian in criticizing The Washington Post for demanding that former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden stand trial on espionage charges 119 120 121 122 In February 2017 the Post adopted the slogan Democracy Dies in Darkness for its masthead 123 Since 2011 the Post has been running a column called The Fact Checker that the Post describes as a truth squad 124 The Fact Checker received a 250 000 grant from Google News Initiative YouTube to expand production of video fact checks 124 Political endorsements Edit In the vast majority of U S elections for federal state and local office the Post editorial board has endorsed Democratic candidates 125 The paper s editorial board and endorsement decision making are separate from newsroom operations 125 Until 1976 the Post did not regularly make endorsements in presidential elections Since it endorsed Jimmy Carter in 1976 the Post has endorsed Democrats in presidential elections and has never endorsed a Republican for president in the general election 125 although in the 1988 presidential election the Post declined to endorse either Governor Michael Dukakis the Democratic candidate or Vice President George H W Bush the Republican candidate 125 126 The Post editorial board endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 127 and 2012 128 Hillary Clinton in 2016 129 and Joe Biden for 2020 130 While the newspaper predominantly endorses Democrats in congressional state and local elections it has occasionally endorsed Republican candidates 125 While the paper has not endorsed Republican candidates for governor of Virginia 125 it endorsed Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich s unsuccessful bid for a second term in 2006 125 131 In 2006 it repeated its historic endorsements of every Republican incumbent for Congress in Northern Virginia 132 The Post editorial board endorsed Virginia s Republican U S Senator John Warner in his Senate reelection campaign in 1990 1996 and 2002 the paper s most recent endorsement of a Maryland Republican for U S Senate was in the 1980s when the paper endorsed Senator Charlies Mac Mathias Jr 125 In U S House of Representatives elections moderate Republicans in Virginia and Maryland such as Wayne Gilchrest Thomas M Davis and Frank Wolf have enjoyed the support of the Post the Post also has endorsed some Republicans such as Carol Schwartz in some D C races 125 Criticism and controversies EditThis article or section appears to be slanted towards recent events Please try to keep recent events in historical perspective and add more content related to non recent events May 2022 Learn how and when to remove this template message Jimmy s World fabrication Edit In September 1980 a Sunday feature story appeared on the front page of the Post titled Jimmy s World in which reporter Janet Cooke wrote a profile of the life of an eight year old heroin addict 133 Although some within the Post doubted the story s veracity the paper s editors defended it and assistant managing editor Bob Woodward submitted the story to the Pulitzer Prize Board at Columbia University for consideration 134 Cooke was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing on April 13 1981 The story was subsequently found to be a complete fabrication and the Pulitzer was returned 135 Private salon solicitation Edit In July 2009 in the midst of an intense debate over health care reform The Politico reported that a health care lobbyist had received an astonishing offer of access to the Post s health care reporting and editorial staff 136 Post publisher Katharine Weymouth had planned a series of exclusive dinner parties or salons at her private residence to which she had invited prominent lobbyists trade group members politicians and business people 137 Participants were to be charged 25 000 to sponsor a single salon and 250 000 for 11 sessions with the events being closed to the public and to the non Post press 138 Politico s revelation gained a somewhat mixed response in Washington 139 140 141 as it gave the impression that the parties sole purpose was to allow insiders to purchase face time with Post staff Almost immediately following the disclosure Weymouth canceled the salons saying This should never have happened White House counsel Gregory B Craig reminded officials that under federal ethics rules they need advance approval for such events Post Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli who was named on the flier as one of the salon s Hosts and Discussion Leaders said he was appalled by the plan adding It suggests that access to Washington Post journalists was available for purchase 142 137 China Daily advertising supplements Edit Dating back to 2011 The Washington Post began to include China Watch advertising supplements provided by China Daily an English language newspaper owned by the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party on the print and online editions Although the header to the online China Watch section included the text A Paid Supplement to The Washington Post James Fallows of The Atlantic suggested that the notice was not clear enough for most readers to see 143 Distributed to the Post and multiple newspapers around the world the China Watch advertising supplements range from four to eight pages and appear at least monthly According to a 2018 report by The Guardian China Watch uses a didactic old school approach to propaganda 144 In 2020 a report by Freedom House titled Beijing s Global Megaphone was also critical of the Post and other newspapers for distributing China Watch 145 146 In the same year 35 Republican members of the U S Congress wrote a letter to the U S Department of Justice in February 2020 calling for an investigation of potential FARA violations by China Daily 147 The letter named an article that appeared in the Post Education Flaws Linked to Hong Kong Unrest as an example of articles that serve as cover for China s atrocities including its support for the crackdown in Hong Kong 148 According to The Guardian the Post had already stopped running China Watch in 2019 149 Employee relations Edit In 1986 five employees including Newspaper Guild unit chairman Thomas R Sherwood and assistant Maryland editor Claudia Levy sued The Washington Post for overtime pay stating that the newspaper had claimed that budgets did not allow for overtime wages 150 In June 2018 over 400 employees of The Washington Post signed an open letter to the owner Jeff Bezos demanding fair wages fair benefits for retirement family leave and health care and a fair amount of job security The open letter was accompanied by video testimonials from employees who alleged shocking pay practices despite record growth in subscriptions at the newspaper with salaries rising an average of 10 per week which the letter claimed was less than half the rate of inflation The petition followed on a year of unsuccessful negotiations between The Washington Post Guild and upper management over pay and benefit increases 151 In 2020 The Post suspended reporter Felicia Sonmez after she posted a series of tweets about the 2003 rape allegation against basketball star Kobe Bryant after Bryant s death She was reinstated after over 200 Post journalists wrote an open letter criticizing the paper s decision 152 In July 2021 Sonmez sued The Post and several of its top editors alleging workplace discrimination the suit was dismissed in March 2022 with the court determining that Sonmez had failed to make plausible claims 153 In June 2022 Sonmez engaged in a Twitter feud with fellow Post staffers David Weigel criticizing him over what he later described as an offensive joke and Jose A Del Real who accused Sonmez of engaging in repeated and targeted public harassment of a colleague 154 Following the feud the newspaper suspended Weigel for a month for violating the company s social media guidelines and the newspaper s executive editor Sally Buzbee sent out a newsroom wide memorandum directing employees to Be constructive and collegial in their interactions with colleagues 154 The newspaper fired Sonmez writing in an emailed termination letter that she had engaged in misconduct that includes insubordination maligning your co workers online and violating The Post s standards on workplace collegiality and inclusivity 155 Lawsuit by Covington Catholic High School student Edit In 2019 Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann filed a defamation lawsuit against the Post alleging that it libeled him in seven articles regarding the January 2019 Lincoln Memorial confrontation between Covington students and the Indigenous Peoples March 156 157 A federal judge dismissed the case ruling that 30 of the 33 statements in the Post that Sandmann alleged were libelous were not but allowed Sandmann to file an amended complaint as to three statements 158 After Sandmann s lawyers amended the complaint the suit was reopened on October 28 2019 159 160 In 2020 The Post settled the lawsuit brought by Sandmann for an undisclosed amount 161 Controversial op eds and columns Edit Several Washington Post op eds and columns have prompted criticism including a number of comments on race by columnist Richard Cohen over the years 162 163 and a controversial 2014 column on campus sexual assault by George Will 164 165 The Post s decision to run an op ed by Mohammed Ali al Houthi a leader in Yemen s Houthi movement was criticized by some activists on the basis that it provided a platform to an anti Western and antisemitic group supported by Iran 166 The headline of a 2020 op ed titled It s time to give the elites a bigger say in choosing the president was changed without an editor s note after backlash 167 In 2022 actor Johnny Depp successfully sued ex wife Amber Heard for an op ed she wrote in The Washington Post where she described herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse two years after she had publicly accused him of domestic violence Criticism by elected officials Edit Former president Donald Trump repeatedly railed against The Washington Post on his Twitter account 168 having tweeted or retweeted criticism of the paper tying it to Amazon more than 20 times since his campaign for president by August 2018 169 In addition to often attacking the paper itself Trump used Twitter to blast various Post journalists and columnists 170 During the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries Senator Bernie Sanders repeatedly criticized The Washington Post saying that its coverage of his campaign was slanted against him and attributing this to Jeff Bezos purchase of the newspaper 171 172 Sanders criticism was echoed by the socialist magazine Jacobin 173 and the progressive journalist watchdog Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting 174 Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron responded by saying that Sanders criticism was baseless and conspiratorial 175 Executive officers and editors EditMajor stockholders Stilson Hutchins 1877 1889 Frank Hatton and Beriah Wilkins 1889
