This week, the Washington Post seems to stumble like the big gorilla, in the movie King Kong , but then sike- out, like the 2007 action Sci Fi Thriller Transformers. Inspiring minds want to know what’s up!
Even with all the wasting away of news publications and uncertainty about the future of news in print, according to sources, the Washington Post is “not” bracing for a giants fall like King Kong at the end of the big Gorilla movie.
It might look like this, but the Washington Post is not stumbling while the ground is shaking under the weight of a real gargantuan, just before the smash; they claim! And neither are the other big Kahunas, like the New York Times, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.
But unlike the other Kings of news, the Post is making a move that just looks like its fallen from glory, or better breaking a fall… But wait! Nope this is a strategic move like the 2007 heroic autobot Transformers.
At the height of what will be known as the remolding of the media system; a side effect of the internet and social networks.
The Post is cultivating its home field advantage in Politics to differentiate it’s newsworthiness, According to Daily Finance Columnist Jeff Bercovici; Re: Why the Washington Post is Smart to Keep it Local.
All though the post will still maintain a national readership, the focal point will be concentrated on simply its home turf.
Bercovici said, “the Post is defending its turf from Politico.com, which not only has the muscle to challenge the Post on politics but is now going after it on metro coverage too.”
