Every now and then I check to see if WaPo has quietly pulled that line from just beneath the paper’s logo on their web page.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/

IMO it comes in below Arbeit Macht Frei [Work sets you free], the welcoming message to Nazi concentration camps, but still in the same vein of evil sanctimonious hypocrisy.

Answer: No, they have not.

some will default to substack, like jen rubin and matt yglesias before them

Building a paper on reportage means recruiting people quite different from those who work in contemporary journalism and recruiting a readership from among those who gave up on the papers some time ago or never acquired the habit.

I haven’t been back to NYC for decades but I doubt anyone under 40 still lugs home the heavy printed-on-paper Sunday Times as we used to.

So apparently this market segment can only sustain one news site. Like the Grauniad in the UK.
