Kara Swisher Explores Bid to Acquire The Washington Post

The tech journalist is assembling investors for a potential purchase, though Jeff Bezos has shown no interest in selling.

Kara Swisher, a prominent tech journalist and podcaster, is working to gather a group of wealthy investors to buy The Washington Post from Jeff Bezos.
Swisher believes Bezos may eventually sell the paper due to his focus on other ventures, including space technology, and ongoing challenges at the Post under his ownership.
The Washington Post has faced financial losses, declining morale, and criticism over its decision not to endorse a presidential candidate in 2024, a move reportedly supported by Bezos.
Swisher has stated that any investor group she leads would exclude Elon Musk, citing his close ties to President-elect Donald Trump and their differing visions for media ownership.
While Swisher is confident that funding for a bid could be secured, Bezos has not indicated any willingness to sell the paper he purchased in 2013 for $250 million.
