Huffington Post Editor-in-Chief Arianna Huffington and Washington Post Publisher Katharine Weymouth: The Full D7 Interview

It’s an opportune time to see this interview, in which Washington Post Publisher Katharine Weymouth and Huffington Post Editor-in-Chief Arianna Huffington talked about the future of the news media. The pair were interviewed at the seventh D: All Things Digital conference, only a month before Weymouth landed in hot water for trying to organize an off-the-record gathering of D.C. power players and journalists at her house, underwritten by sponsors.

Washington Post Exec Katharine Weymouth: I Wish Our Headlines Were as Good as Huffpo’s

Old media, meet new media, meet old media’s new media. Arianna Huffington’s self-named Web site is one of the most prominent (and fast-growing) examples of the new media aggregation model: Produce a smattering of your own content and spread it across a site filled with stuff everyone else has made. Katharine Weymouth runs the digital arm of the Washington Post Co.–which happens to be the family business. Unlike the rest of the company’s flagship paper, the Post’s online revenue is still growing. But not fast enough to offset the rest of the company’s decline. Can the Post figure out how to survive? Can people like Huffington survive without the Post and its ilk? Time to find out.
