The latest bad news for Jeff Bezos’s Washington Post: The Atlantic is raiding the Washington Post’s news staff as the magazine gears up for extensive political coverage of the incoming Trump administration, the NYT reports The Atlantic has already hired two national reporters from the Post – and more WaPo staffers are reportedly set to jump ship. … In a way, this is a tale of two billionaire media owners: Bezos, founder of Amazon, and Laurence Powell Jobs, widow of Steve Jobs and majority owner of The Atlantic. The former started off on a positive note as owner of the Post, overseeing expansion of the legendary newspaper and winning plaudits for its return to quality national reporting. But it’s been all negative in recent years, amid falling circulation, controversial editorial hires, low newsroom morale, and Bezos sucking up to Donald Trump. Meanwhile, the former Boston-based Atlantic has blossomed in recent years under Jobs, seeing its paid digital circulation soar and earning respect as a major journalism player in Washington, D.C. … I’d say Jobs is winning this new crosstown rivalry, don’t you think?
