Newsweek Magazine for Sale: Washington Post Unloading It After Losses
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyNewsweek Magazine is for sale. The 77-year-old publication, known for its iconic covers, sharp political coverage and emphasis on trends in American life has lost more than $45 million in the last two years -- and that's too much for the owner, the Washington Post. The Post, which took over Newsweek in 1961, announced Wednesday the magazine is on the market, though Chairman Donald E. Graham did not disclose an asking price or identify potential buyers. Graham informed Newsweek employees during a meeting at the magazine's headquarters in New York. Newsweek, like other magazines of its kind, ...
Washington Post Kills Sally Quinn's Column in Print Edition
By Annie Groer - Politics Daily"The Party" is over. The weekly Washington Post column on gracious entertaining that Sally Quinn wrote from late November until Feb. 19 has been axed from the paper's Style section.

Oh, the glory days of newspapers! What with Quinn Bradlee, son of Bradlee and columnist Sally Quinn, in the news (as reported by my Politics Daily colleague Annie Groer here and here) and last ...
Will Sally Quinn Uncouple Those Dueling Weddings?
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyIs Sally Quinn about to blink? Will she relent and reschedule her son's April 10 Washington wedding -- only recently shifted from October when it was learned his fiancee is pregnant -- so it no longer conflicts with the long-planned Napa Valley nuptials of husband Ben Bradlee's firstborn grandchild? Smart money says she will. Or should. On Friday, Feb. 26. In The Washington Post. In "The Party," a weekly column Sally Quinn has written since Thanksgiving as a way to reclaim a coveted perch in the Style Section. Her essays tell us how to behave in polite society, and often feature prominent ...
The Parable of the Trophy Wife
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyThis is a true story. Once upon a time, in the last century, there was a great, nearly stately institution that served the public nobly, at times even heroically. Though not as glamorous as Hollywood or royal as Versailles, the city in which the institution did business possessed elements of each. In a time akin to Camelot, when these near movie stars mingled with presidents, one particularly handsome and charming figure captured hearts and minds with his dash and verve. He was a man's man, of course, and the women he serially married were beautiful and clever. His oldest son and heir to ...
