Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is playing an increasingly active role in The Washington Post's operations, report says

• Jeff Bezos is playing an increasingly active role in operations at The Post, The New York Times says.
• The Amazon founder and ex-chief executive made an unusual visit to the newsroom earlier this year.
• Bezos has sought to make The Post an international force and has encouraged digital experimentation.

Former Amazon chief executive and president Jeff Bezos has become increasingly involved in the operations of The Washington Post, the venerable newspaper that he purchased for $250 million a decade ago, according to The New York Times.

In past years, representatives of Bezos kept close tabs on the budget, but Bezos has recently taken a more active approach as the publication has encountered economic headwinds and internal dissent.
