On Thursday, Jeff Bezos sent an email to the Washington Post staff noting, as I’d reported a day earlier, that he’d been meeting with the paper’s business and editorial leaders—a visit that comes as Bezos concludes the very final stages of selecting either Josh Steiner or Will Lewis as the Post’s next publisher and C.E.O. In his very brief note, Bezos reiterated his commitment to the company and stressed the importance of returning to profitability: “If we work hard to understand our readers (and what they value) and keep producing the caliber of reporting I had the pleasure of reviewing with the teams this week,” he wrote, “I know we’ll again find financial success.”
