A Decade Ago, Jeff Bezos Bought a Newspaper. Now He’s Paying Attention to It Again.

“‘Analyst’ or ‘strategist’ were among the limited set of workarounds.”These days, Mr. Bezos knows more about the news business. Mr. Bezos has said he wants The Post to be profitable, but it is unlikely to reach that target this year. Through a spokesperson, Mr. Ryan denied accusing Mr. Barr of leaking information and trying to get rid of him. In an interview with The Times last month, Mr. Ryan said he’d had “a lot of conversations” with Mr. Bezos about the new organization. Mr. Bezos has been having regular meetings with Mr. Shipley to discuss the project.
