At the time of Jeff Bezos's purchase of The Washington Post, three Post journalists write about his patient nurturing of business enterprises with long term investments. Jeff Bezos sees the future of journalism in reader access through internet based devices like the tablets now in use, with each family having multiple tablets. Bezos reads newspapers only on a tablet, and sees the current period as one of transition from the print medium to the internet, so that in 20 years the transition from print will be completed.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
