MIKE SAYS ABOUT THE SALE OF THE WASHINGTON POST: “CLEARLY PRINT IS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES. THE IDEA OF THE NEWSPAPER AT THE END OF YOUR DRIVEWAY, THAT’S AN ENDANGERED SPECIES TO SOME EXTENT. BUT THE HOPEFUL ASPECT OF THIS IS THAT BOTH OF THESE PURCHASES—JEFF BEZOS [OF THE WASHINGTON POST] AND JOHN HENRY [OF THE BOSTON GLOBE]—BRING SOMETHING TO THE NEWSPAPER INDUSTRY THAT IS NOT THERE RIGHT NOW AND THAT IS ANOTHER VIEW ON WHERE TO TAKE THINGS IN THE FUTURE, [INCLUDING] ON THE WEB, WITH VIDEO STREAMING COMPONENTS OF PRINT. AND IT COULD WELL BE THAT WHAT THEIR VIEW IS COULD SAVE AND ENRICH THE EXISTING PRODUCT.” ON MORNING JOE ON MSNBC.
