The Washington Post
Mentioned in 77 analyzed podcast episodes across 10 shows
A major U.S. newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos since 2013, known for investigative reporting on topics ranging from foreign policy to campaign finance and government surveillance. Recently underwent significant institutional upheaval, including the layoff of approximately one-third of its newsroom staff and the suspension of its long-running daily podcast, which sparked widespread discussion about editorial independence and the decline of traditional media institutions. Podcasts reference the organization both for its journalism—covering stories like ICE's social media operations and Iranian foreign policy—and as a case study in billionaire ownership's impact on media credibility and institutional trust.
