Fred Ryan, Next Washington Post Publisher, Signals More Growth In Bezos Era

Huffington Post reporting:
NEW YORK -- Fred Ryan, the incoming publisher and chief executive of The Washington Post, said Tuesday that the news organization plans to continue expanding under owner Jeff Bezos.
"You can’t shrink your way to success," Ryan said in an interview with The Huffington Post. "Growth is the way to continue to build a strong news organization."
Such statements will surely be welcome in the Post's newsroom, which witnessed staff reductions, the closing of domestic bureaus, and diminished national and international ambitions during the seven-year tenure of outgoing publisher Katharine Weymouth...
...
The Post, Ryan stressed, needs to focus on the needs of readers -- wherever, whenever and however they consume and share news..
“News is a big space,” Ryan said. “People are consuming more news than they have ever before, on more platforms than ever before. It’s not a two-horse race. It’s not even a horse race. This is a place where there can be multiple winners. I have no doubt The Washington Post will be one.”..
