Bezos does in the case of the Washington Post. Archived Message Posted by Mary on December 20, 2020, 9:48 am, in reply to "Who owns the media? Top newspaper, website and magazine owners charted By Ben Van Der Merwe" 'On August 5, 2013, Bezos announced his purchase of The Washington Post for $250 million in cash. To execute the sale, he established limited liability company Nash Holdings to serve as a holding company through which he would own the newspaper. The sale closed on October 1, 2013, and Nash Holdings took control. In March 2014, Bezos made his first significant change at The Washington Post and lifted the online paywall for subscribers of a number of U.S. local newspapers in Texas, Hawaii, and Minnesota. In January 2016, Bezos set out to reinvent the newspaper as a media and technology company by reconstructing its digital media, mobile platforms, and analytics software. Throughout the early years of ownership, Bezos was accused of having a potential conflict of interest with the paper. Bezos and the newspaper's editorial board have dismissed accusations that he unfairly controlled the paper's content and Bezos maintains the paper's independence. After a surge in online readership in 2016, the paper was profitable for the first time since Bezos made the purchase in 2013.' Wikipedia Message Thread: Who owns the media?
