Who Will Be the Washington Post’s Next Owner?

Here are some possibilities, from most likely to least likely:The Atlantic: Atlantic editor Jeff Goldberg was a Washington Post reporter early in his career and has staffed the news organization, based in Washington, with Washington Post alumni, including Elizabeth Bruenig, Barton Gellman, Hanna Rosin, Mark Leibovich, and Anne Applebaum. Ideologically, you get the internationalism and national security hawkishness of the classic, Graham-family owned Washington Post in its prime, along with the anti-Trump elements of the Bezos-era Washington Post. It used to run the International Herald Tribune as a 50-50 partnership with the Washington Post. Even so, and even as the influence of such newspapers wanes, there aren’t that many other newspapers like the Washington Post. Thank you: I could never get the Washington Post to make me a columnist, though Fred Hiatt was always totally gracious about it when I tried.
