Washington Post, Bonneville end joint radio venture

“Washington Post Radio was an experiment in stretching the idea that it doesn't really matter through what platform you get your news — what's important, rather, is who the storytellers are,” says Washington Post columnist Marc Fisher.

“The idea that Post executives fell in love with remains an important one: If the American newspaper is to survive as the basic foundation of newsgathering in this country, the companies that produce daily papers will have to find ways to sell their wares in various other media,” Fisher wrote. “But what the demise of Post Radio teaches is that that expansion into other crafts will mean that news organizations must hire and train people with a different set of talents and passions, and that inevitably entails a different concept of what the news is.”
