And it remains an interesting challenge, I’m not sitting here and saying that the worst is behind us for this, as an industry, but clearly we have gone through probably kind of…we have hit kind of a little bit of a trough if you will, and it looks like this year relatively speaking has been better than the last two years. So it does look like there’s some light at the end of the industry’s tunnel. There’s a little bit of a myth out there that the newspaper industry is at some point is going to disappear, at least at the Post we don’t necessary think that’s going to happen because there still is a strong audience for consuming news in print just as there’s a growing audience in consuming it online, and what we have tried to do is to kind of make sure that our print audience continues to get what it’s looking for in the post. But focusing more and more on the online audience just to give an idea, 85, 86% of people who come to the Washington Post website don’t come from this region, they come from other parts of the US and all around the world and they have very different needs sometimes compared to the audience here. So today a lot of us are interested in weather in Washington so if I play that up in a significant way in my website 85% of the audience that’s going to come to my website really, really doesn’t care about that.

So it causes some interesting challenges in how do we manage resources and how do we present our content in a way that appeals to both our online audience and our print audience? And this is where kind of focusing on this forum about Washington strategy and saying is that something that people expect from the Post? And if it’s not should we be using our resources to do that? Has been the factor that we’ve used internally to manage over the last few years. And it is starting to kind of help us focus on what we do best and partner with others in areas that we don’t necessarily need to cover on our own. A good example of that is our business coverage, we focus on the kind of the intersection of business and politic or business and policy or business or regulation. But we have partnered with Bloomberg so you get if you come to our website you get a lot of other normal business stories out of New York or LA or Chicago. But we don’t need to invest our resources. What we have then done is to kind of invest our resources in covering the White House, in covering Congress in covering large parts of the world that matter to the US and our audience and where the US matters a lot.

So it’s been a few years of kind of rethinking of the Post stands for how we can use our resources better to address the needs of both our print and online audiences. And I am much more comfortable this year than I have been in the last couple of years in terms of the future of our business. You’ll probably see a lot of experiments especially online you’ll probably see papers at the New York Times figure out a way to start charging for content online. We may follow a different direction on that. But I think there is a lot of effort going on in the industry to kind of figure out how do we create a sustainable business model so that we continue to serve both our print and online audiences. And continue to serve the readers who have never shown a bigger appetite for the kind of journalism that the Post produces. So I want to kind of stop now and turn it over to Doug and as Ali said I think this was meant to be more of a conversation. So happy to answer any questions later on Doug.

Douglas: The challenges facing the industry that Raju talked about certainly have affected foreign news coverage of foreign news. The major networks a lot of major American newspapers have cut back significantly if not eliminated their foreign staffs. And the Post hasn’t been immune to those cuts our staff we got 15 foreign correspondents still another five or so contractors it’s smaller than it was at that peak for three or four years ago when I think we had 26 foreign correspondents. But this foreign about Washington strategy that Raju referred to doesn’t mean that all we care about is what’s happening in Washington. The Post very much recognizes that what happens around the world is enormously important to decision makers in Washington. And also to readers who care about what’s happening and understand that what happens on a given day in Beijing or Kabul or Mexico City often affects the way federal dollars are spent in the United States; the way decisions are made about soldier’s lives and the deployment of troops a whole array of things. So when we talk about foreign about Washington we don’t mean a local newspaper strategy. We mean covering the United States and covering the world in a way that ranks priorities according to what is most important what’s most relevant an informed educated cosmopolitan audience in Washington?
