From a New York Time story by Benjamin Mullin and Katie Robertson headlined “A Decade Ago, Jeff Bezos Bought a Newspaper. Now He’s Paying Attention to It Again.”:

During his tenure as executive editor at The Washington Post, Martin Baron ran into a persistent problem.

Jeff Bezos had purchased The Post for $250 million in 2013, less than a year after Mr. Baron had taken over. Mr. Bezos, who arrived at media ownership after founding Amazon and remaking online shopping, wanted his top editor to transform the newspaper from a regional news organization into a truly global one.
