WASHINGTON POST NAMES PUBLISHER
[SOURCE: New York Times, AUTHOR: Richard Perez-Pena]
Katharine Weymouth will become publisher of The Washington Post, its parent company announced on Thursday. The move passes that title to the fourth generation of the family that has controlled the paper for 75 years. Ms. Weymouth, who has worked in the company since 1996, is a niece of Donald E. Graham, the chairman and chief executive of the Washington Post Company, and the granddaughter of Katharine Graham, the head of the company for three decades until her death in 2001. For the last three years, Ms. Weymouth has been vice president of The Post in charge of advertising, a critical area in a time of declining ad revenue across the industry.
