The Washington Post is not one of our go-to sources for interesting stories, but we care deeply about journalism as a pillar of the communities we are involved in. What happens to this particular journalistic institution is of interest because of its perceived influence on policy in an influential community. For that reason, 12 minutes spent listening to the man who led the decision to sell the newspaper to one particular buyer may be worthwhile.  But there is a much better reason to listen to him, and it comes exactly at minute 10 in this interview, when he describes how meetings are conducted at Amazon, and the importance of writing to clear communication.
