Jeff Bezos

A contrast case. Bezos bought The Washington Post personally in 2013 for 250 million dollars and invested heavily in its technology and staff, and the paper won major awards under his ownership. But there is no trust or charter between owner and newsroom, and in 2024 and 2025 his decisions to block a presidential endorsement and to narrow the opinion pages to personal liberties and free markets led to resignations and subscriber cancellations.
