Via Matt Cantor at Newswer, a few quotes from Jeff Bezos during his visit to the Washington Post offices:
- “If it’s hopeless, I would feel sorry for you guys, but I wouldn’t want to join you,” he said, per journalist Cara Ann Kelly.
- Still, “What’s been happening over the last several years can’t continue to happen.”
- “It should be as easy to get a subscription to the Post as it is to buy diapers on Amazon.”
- “People will buy a package,” but “they will not pay for (an individual) story.”
- “All businesses need to be forever young … If your customer base ages with you as a company, you’re Woolworth’s.”
- As to content: “Don’t be boring.”
