The Washington Post set up a paywall two months ago.
If there are other ways to monetize good journalistic content, Bezos is a good candidate to figure it out.
Regardless of his plans, the paper won't be living paycheck to paycheck, metaphorically spreaking.
Lots of interesting commentary floating around. I liked this one:

There are few people who think longer-term than Bezos. If he has a plan, it won’t be a quick fix or a Band-Aid. And long term thinking is a luxury the Post didn’t have before this deal.
