‘OFFICIALLY UNDER
NEW OWNERSHIP’
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is officially
the new owner of The Washington Post,
after documents were signed to complete
the $250 million purchase. In a memo to
employees, publisher Katharine Weymouth
wrote, “We are officially under new ownership, and a new era for The Washington Post
begins.” At an all-staff town hall last month, Bezos said he can provide a “financial runway”
for the Post and said the paper must determine how to “use gifts that the Internet gives us.”

COMES TO AN END
AMC’s hit drama Breaking Bad came to an end
Sunday night, and viewers finally found out
what happened to chemistry teacher-turnedmeth kingpin Walter White. The network
said 10.3 million viewers tuned in to watch
the finale, up from 1.5 million viewers for the
show’s 2008 premiere. Critics were divided on
the finale, with some saying it ended the series
perfectly and others arguing it wrapped things
up a bit too cleanly. Breaking Bad just won its
first Emmy for best TV drama.
