Veteran tech reporter Kara Swisher is aiming to put together a team of investors to purchase the Washington Post, TheWrap has learned. Axios was the first outlet to report the news.
Swisher’s belief is that a deal would be a win-win, allowing WaPo owner Jeff Bezos to focus more on his tech and space ventures.
“The Post can do better,” she told Axios. “It’s so maddening to see what’s happening… why not me? Why not any of us?
The biggest hurdle to Swisher or anyone else buying the paper is that Bezos has not given any indication he wants to sell it.
