Tech companies have demonstrated over and over that they love to flirt with journalism, but they never want to commit (a notable exception is Amazon's Jeff Bezos at the Washington Post[1]).

I hope this encourages news organisations to disentangle themselves from tech companies as fast as possible.

After overloading the world with information it can't ever process, I don't think either news companies or tech companies know what the fuck they are doing or what they need to do next.

Jeff owns the Washington Post in his capacity as a private individual. It's not affiliated with Amazon at all.
