Personally, I don’t really give a damn about their Climate Change reporter pool going from 14 to 2, but they have completely axed local coverage and international coverage. That’s a shame, IMO.

It seems like a lot of social media, the traditional newspapers have to get somewhat "outrageous" to get and keep an audience. A paper that just reports the news and provides good in depth coverage has trouble staying alive in today's world.
And it is not just the US, it is everywhere unfortunately.

He’s going to use AI to crawl over the web for stories.
Here's your chance, fellow Coffee-Roomers! Post profusely, your TNCR posts just might get picked up by Bezos' crawler bots and recycled into WaPo articles!

I've seen this coming for 20+ years, partly because I had friends who worked at the formerly great newspaper, the Cincinnati Enquirer. Now Gannett backup toilet paper. These people were either stupid or in denial or both.
