The big newspaper of the American capital and one of the most influential titles of the world press. Traditionally in the center right, The Washington Post owes its reputation to its legendary investigative work in the Watergate case, which resulted in the fall of President Nixon in the early 1970s. It also stands out for its very sharp coverage of life American politics, his analyzes, his reports, as well as by his many columnists of all political stripes. First daily to appear seven days out of seven (in 1880) and to charge a mediator to watch over the independence of the newspaper (since 1970), The WP often knew how to evolve before the others. It was from the 1930s that he really took off, following his acquisition by Eugene Meyer, before knowing his hour of glory under the leadership of his daughter, Katharine Graham. In 2013, the journal controlled for 80 years by the Meyer-Graham family was bought by Amazon's boss, Jeff Bezos. Since then, the Post has focused on new technologies. Developers and datascientifiques coexist in its new offices with journalists; the titles are often more catchy and adapted to the web. Jeff Bezos has invested large sums of money that have allowed the hiring of 140 journalists after years of layoffs. But the revenues are still insufficient and the future is still causing concern. The Washington Post website is very comprehensive and attracts many Internet users from abroad. In recent years, he has experimented with very ambitious formats, particularly in the field of immersive journalism.
