Washington (AFP) – The Washington Post has a new publisher, owner Jeff Bezos said Tuesday in his latest move to reshape the prestigious daily for the digital age, ending a long era of family management. Bezos, the Internet entrepreneur and founder of Amazon, named Fred Ryan as publisher and chief executive, replacing Katharine Weymouth, the scion of the family that has run the paper for decades. Ryan is a former Reagan administration official and part of the founding leadership team of Politico, a successful digital news organization covering the Washington political scene. A lawyer, he also headed Allbritton Communications, which operates local television stations. The transition will occur October 1 and brings a highly symbolic end to a successful era of family management since Weymouth’s great-grandfather Eugene Meyer bought the Post in 1933.
