Save The Post
By
Harry Jaffe
How can the Washington Post keep readers and attract new ones? These questions have been confounding the Post for decades. Why, amid a growing Washington region -- both wealthy and well-educated -- does the Post lose about three percent of its readers every year?
In the June Post Watch column in The Washingtonian, I put the question to readers. Dozens replied with critiques or helpful suggestions. Here’s what Joan, of Washington, D.C., had to say:
“PostPoints won't save the Post. I would cancel my subscription if I didn't think I needed to know about District news--not interested in MD and VA. In about 75 percent of the time the international and national news is in the New York Times the day before and the Northwest Current does a better job of picking up on the local news. Visitors from other parts of the US also comment about the decline in the Post's timely and interesting news reports and editorials. The Sunday Book Review gets smaller and smaller. I do like Tom Seitsma, Reliable Source and Stickler and the series on Walter Reed was very good!! It is sad to see a paper, which once was a strong national paper revert to a local/regional paper.”
My take: Joan is hard on the Post’s national and international coverage. The Post’s reporters stay even or ahead of the competition most of the time. Everyone gets scooped on occasion. But Joan expresses the conflict the paper has never been able to solve: on one hand she reads it for local news, on the other hand she decries it for reverting to a local paper.
No wonder the Post leadership is confounded.

I don’t know. I love Coach Outlet Online Store, I was in Chelsea the happiest man since the arrival of a person who should have never Prada Shoes. I was thinking I would have Coach Outlet be there all my life and a few months later, I buy Coach Purses. So you never know. In Inter I found an incredible family. Players; amazing. President; amazing. Then after two years I felt, even with two more years Coach Purses Outlet, I felt it was over. I need something new for me. So you never know. But when I sign a Coach Factory Outlet, I sign with the intention to respect the contract and be happy for that Prada Sneakers. So if everything goes in the right direction, yes I will stay Coach Outlet Store.

Coach handbags got it’s start when it’s founder noticed how distinctive the leather used in [url=http://www.coachbagsfactory.com/]Coach outlet online[/url] was and how well it lasted in spite of rough handling. So began [url=http://www.coachbagsfactory.com/]Coach Bags[/url] in 1941 with their first refined leather bags, built to stand the test of time. Six artists began [url=http://www.coachbagsfactory.com/]Coach Factory[/url] in a loft in Manhattan, New York and the company has since stayed in New York in a larger location to allow for it’s expansion. Only the top 10% of quality leather is chosen to become a [url=http://www.coachbagsfactory.com/]Coach Outlet[/url] and the leather is slow cured in large drums with rotation for several days. The [url=http://www.coachbagsfactory.com/]Coach Factory Outlet[/url] is enriched with natural treatments which produces a softening effect to bring out the individual grain of each piece of leather.

The very first myth that I would like to dispell is that large analyst firms have an advantage over small analyst firms when it comes to sharing of information. Alex Fletcher of Entiva believes that small analyst firms won’t be afforded the same opportunity to talk with us when in all reality the exact opposite is true. In fact, we are currently working with a one-person analyst firm named Elemental Links who is currently doing a case study on some of our enterprise architecture practices. In the past we have also done case studies with a very large two-person analyst firm on our SOA implementations named ZapThink.
