Jeff Bezos, the founder and chief executive officer of online retail giant Amazon, will buy The Washington Post for $250 million, the newspaper revealed in a surprise announcement today.

The Washington Post Company has a new venture: heavy industrial equipment

The Washington Post Company announced a few bits of good news for its shareholders today, with its quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. But circulation and revenue at the Post is still down.
