The Washington Post Goes Prime, Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime members will receive a free 6-month subscription to The Post.

The Washington Post announced that subscribers of Amazon Prime will now be able to enjoy six months of unlimited free access to the Post’s digital edition.

This is the latest in a series of moves by the Post’s owner, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, to bring the news organization into the digital age while exposing the Post to an audience who may have never thought of subscribing to the DC newspaper.

“Offering free access to new subscribers through Prime allows us to connect with millions of members nationwide,” said Steve Hills, the Post’s president and general manager.

The integration of the Post with Prime was not completely unforeseen.
