Local or National?
In his washingtonpost.com chat, Howard Kurtz fields an important question about his paper’s mission and business strategy:
Chicago, Ill.: Does the Washington Post want to be a national or local newspaper? I ask, because instead of Deborah Howell answering the mail she gets from readers concerning the Post’s coverage of national news, she wrote a 750 word plea for more questions about local news!
I don’t think the Post can have it both ways. The Post can’t interject itself into national issues at the level of a paper like the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times, then back away and claims its a local paper when the heat starts to come.
