Amazon Prime + The Washington Post
In 2013, The Washington Post was sold to Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos for $250 million. In an era of disruption within the news industry, Amazon is leading the pack in redesigning distribution. Amazon Prime users will now be able to scan through news with The Washington Post on a trial period.
Amazon today announced that Prime members can now enjoy six months of free unlimited access to The Washington Post National Digital Edition, a subscription usually retailing for $9.99 per month. After the first six months of access to world-class national and international news, Prime members can continue to enjoy unlimited digital access with a discounted monthly subscription rate of only $3.99, a savings of 60% per month.
