"Because the future of newspapers is online. This doesn't mean that printed newspapers will go out of existence, as a matter of fact, the best chance that printed newspapers have to continue is if they have a vibrant, active, growing, online presence and that's what Amazon can do for the Washington Post."
After decades of Graham family ownership, Bezos assured the family and Post employees that the paper's mission and character would not change - promising to leave operations to the paper's managers.
Chris Tolles, the CEO of Topix - an online news community that reaches millions - says the Post is an important voice in the news business and U.S. politics. He spoke to VOA on Skype.
"And I think it's one of the top three or four big newspapers in the United States and its editorial pages carry weight; they're read by presidents, Congress and their families."
The Post earned its strong reputation by breaking stories such as the Watergate scandal, the Pentagon papers and more recently, disclosures about the National Security Agency's surveillance programs.作家兼媒体研究教授保罗•莱文森（Paul Levinson）说，该是报纸深入数字时代的时候了。他通过Skype告诉VOA。
“因为未来的报纸是在线的。这并不意味着纸制报纸会消失。事实上，纸制报纸继续下去的最好机会，在于他们在网上是否充满活力，积极，不断发展。而这是亚马逊可以为华盛顿邮报做的。”
在格雷汉姆（Graham）家族了持有几十年之后，贝佐斯（Bezos）向该家族和邮报员工保证报纸的使命和性质不会改变——并承诺将运营权留给报纸的管理者们。
Topix是一家覆盖百万用户的在线新闻社区，其首席执行官Chris Tolles说，华盛顿邮报在新闻界和美国政界是一个重要的声音。他在Skype上告诉VOA。
“我认为，它是美国前三或者前四大报纸之一，它的社论版面很有分量。总统、国会和他们的家庭都读它们。”
华盛顿邮报通过报道爆炸性新闻获得良好的声誉，比如水门事件、五角大楼文件事件、最新的对于国家安全局监控项目的披露。
