Raju: Actually far from it. I probably wouldn’t be able to get a job these days of I started off now with my skills honestly. The young people that you see these days are real story tellers in a multimedia sense. They can, they think video they audio, they think good writing maybe in different degrees but they seem to be coming out of the Columbia’s and other universities with a much better understanding of how to communicate with their audiences, how to involve their audiences in a much better way than I did 21 years ago when I did my masters in journalism.

And as to the questions about whether we are getting enough people, unfortunately it helps to have an industry in a down turn there are not that many jobs there are not that many organizations that are hiring. So the choice I actually fairly dramatic now. I mean Doug has an opening in India and we’ve had probably 15 give or take applicants and some of them are really strong candidates and if we add others we’d hire about three of them. And so the choices are actually much better now and I’m not saying it will continue but the people coming out of journalism Columbia is just about to start a Masters in Journalism and a Masters in Computer Science offered together. Because they understand that the future is going to be digital and journalist coming out with an understanding of that world would be a better journalist. At the bottom line and we constantly keep reiterating that at the post not just to young journalist but also to our seasoned journalist is that the technology doesn’t change the basic right and wrong approaches to journalism you still have to have a strong sense of ethics you still have to have a strong sense of fairness and balance, you s till have to do your reporting. None of this is being replaced by Twitter or Facebook. It might make it easier or harder but the basic principles of journalism are still very much intact and I would argue that probably more so in a era when news is happening so quickly that you need to kind of make sure that your fundamental of journalism are still as strong as they’ve ever been.

Ali: If I may ask one more question and then open the discussion for our audience and I’m shifting the topic a little bit to more political issues now. 9/11 even so horrible events of 9/11 have had enormous impact in the United States what do you think has been the effect to US media in general and Washington Post in particular?

Douglas: That’s a great question. I think there is a period after 9/11 when the [IB] some of the interest and curiosity about Islamic world and in particular [rule] in the United States. Certainly you saw new organizations do their best to help readers understand better where this anger that was behind the attacks may have come from. To understand some of the subtleties and [IB] in the Islamic world and certainly whether it was that immediate aftermath or some of the wars that followed in Afghanistan and then in Iraq.
