Washington Post's new ‘riveting’ mission statement for ‘all of America’ sparks instant mockery ‘Quick don't look is this the statement for Disney Plus, Max, or The Washington Post,’ one observer noted after it as reported The Washington Post had embraced ‘Riveting Storytelling for All of America’ as its new motto.
Needless to say, once the Times reported on the new corporate strategy for the Post, whose newsroom has been embroiled in turmoil for months, the mission statement was immediately mocked online by critics and journalists.
The Times also reported that a slide deck presented to executives detailing the genesis of the mission statement described how artificial intelligence would help bring more readers and subscribers to the paper.
Bezos has expressed hopes that The Post would be read by more blue-collar Americans who live outside coastal cities, mentioning people like firefighters in Cleveland,” the Times noted.
Concocted as an “internal rallying point” for staff and not currently meant to replace the paper’s public slogan, the new statement reads: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”.
