Donald Graham's grandfather, Eugene Meyer, famously bought The Washington Post at a bankruptcy sale in 1933, and the family has been deeply invested in the newspaper ever since. After stints as a reporter, sports editor and publisher with the paper, Graham now serves as CEO of The Washington Post Company. Kojo talks with Graham about the future of D.C.'s fabled daily, the varied holdings of The Washington Post Company, and his time as a D.C. cop.

Could Don share his insights into why, outside of classifieds, the Washington Post hasn't built the same kind of local advertising business online that it has in print?
Sir,
Do not read the Post. It is a hollow shadow of itself. No Pentagon Papers or Watergate scoops anymore. Just local sports and local eateries and local politicos.
