With Robert Duvall’s passing today we’re going to see a lot of references to The Godfather. And, understood. But please get into his other films. This one, The Paper, is a great revisit of his impact within a movie and it’s just interesting considering the evolution of media.

On a Washington Post online chat with readers today, the first question was about what's ahead for our beloved newspaper. Here's my answer, which the Post published online: I can't confirm the rumors because I don't know what management is planning. But as a 40-year veteran of The Post and former foreign editor, I want to celebrate the news coverage the paper's reporters have delivered and hope that despite the rumors we hold tight to what made The Post a great newspaper. I came to The Post when the now-legendary Tony Kornheiser, Mike Wilbon and Tom Boswell were our sportswriters. I was foreign editor when our brave reporter Caryle Murphy won a Pulitzer for her coverage of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait (most other reporters fled; she stayed), and when David Remnick was our Moscow correspondent. I could go on, but the point is that there is a chain of excellence in our coverage of foreign news, sports and everything else that matters that's very precious and impossible to replace. We were always more frugal in our reporting expenses than the NYT or WSJ, and in tough times for The Post financially, that needs to continue. But as someone who loves The Post, I want it to remain a powerful, strong, global newspaper.

Two of the strongest parts of the @washingtonpost are its international and sports coverage. They have amazing must-read writers. If they are gutted by Bezos's publisher, it would be one of the most self-destructive acts in American journalism in years. Praying it's not true.
