When the "response" newspapers were laid out on the table, Mrs. Catherine Graham knew the bet was right.
▲ Lead the pace of the newspaper
She said with emotion: "At least we are not alone."
However, without the power of his general, Ben Bradley, "we are no longer a local newspaper."
Stumbling, the Washington Post developed, insisting on "oversight and freedom."
The Post was founded at the beginning
In 1877, Steelson Hutchins founded the Washington Post.
In 1880, the Sunday edition was added, becoming a local newspaper in Washington that published newspapers all week long.
Somehow Hutchins changed hands with the newspaper, and there was a hint of political ties.
Because the new bosses are Hatton and Wilkins, both of whom are mixed politics.
In order to promote the newspaper, they also went to great lengths to get the leaders of the U.S. Marine Corps Band to compose a "Washington Post March."
▲ Music score composed by Susa
It is only used at the award ceremony of the essay contest held by the newspaper.
Unexpectedly, the song became popular and unexpectedly became the standard music for the two-step dance at the end of the 19th century.
In 1898, during the Spanish-American War, the Post published Clifford Berryman's illustration "Remember the Maine."
Painting, then, is not just a painting, but also a battle slogan.
In 1893, the headquarters was moved to the northwest corner of 14th Street and E Street, integrating editing, advertising, typesetting, and printing until 1950.
▲ Just this building
Unfortunately, a hundred years after the two bosses, the newspaper was changed hands again, and as a result, it was pitted.
Reason magazine said the Washington Post was "the most famous typo newspaper."
Dare to write President Wilson's future wife, Mrs. Galt, as Wilson "entering" Mrs. Galt.
Well, without further ado, the newspaper fell not surprisingly.
▲ This sentence is still quite right
The Post reversal went up
Perhaps, God will not let it fall.
In 1933, Eugene Meyer bought the bankrupt newspaper, and son-in-law Philip Graham turned its head around.
The man in the frame is Philip, and this sentence is the beginning of the newspaper's counterattack
In 1954, merging with the last morning newspaper rival, the Washington Post further proclaimed local supremacy.
Later, Catherine takes over, and in the film she laughs at herself:
"Women preach like dogs walking on their hind legs, they don't do it very well, and you'll be amazed at how it can be done."
"That's how society thinks."
But it cannot be ignored that her firmness did not allow the New York Times to pursue the Pentagon documents alone, and the Subsequent Watergate incident.
It was she who put the Washington Post Company public at $24.50 per share.
▲ I am in charge of my newspaper
To be honest, seeing this, I really want to clap for Catherine.
The Washington Post, which was obsessed with watergate, indirectly accelerated Nixon's downfall.
I don't know if Nixon will regret it:
Because of the leak of the Pentagon documents, the Washington Post issued a decision to "never want to step into the White House again."
▲ That goes to the Watergate Building to hang around
On the one hand, the freedom and justice of the media, on the other hand, the smear of the newspapers is also followed deadly.
In 1980, the Post published an article titled "Jimmy's World" that told the world about the life of an 8-year-old boy who was addicted to heroin.
The meticulous reporting earned the journalist Janet the Pulitzer Prize. But later investigations found that it was deceitful.
Media controversy remains
In 2013, Amazon CEO Bezos bought the Washington Post for $250 million, ending the Graham family's management of it.
In December 2015, a new office tower was built in Franklin Square.
The new manager, the new look, the original persistence seems to have changed, and it seems to have not changed.
Catherine wrote in her autobiography Personal History:
"The Post has long advocated not speaking for political candidates."
But in the 1970s, some conservatives referred to the Washington Post as "Pravda on the Potomac River."
Pravda is the official newspaper of the former Soviet Union.
Because they think that the Post's statements and reports have left-wing tendencies, more accurately liberal positions, and more left-wing positions.
In 2007, three Yale professors published a study on the impact of citizen-subscribed newspaper media on voting.
People who subscribed to the Post had a favorable view of the Democratic Party and were 7.9–11.4 percent more likely to vote for the Democratic candidate than the control group.
In February 2017, in the face of Trump's election and criticism, the Post shouted the slogan "Democracy dies in the dark".
Perhaps by this time, the Washington Post was already taking sides in partisan competition.
But then, it was free.
▲ This is a victory for media people
"We're going to monitor their power, and if we don't hold them accountable, who else is there?"
I have also shouted so passionately.
