jenna wortham, and here in washington, jane hall, a journalism professor at american university and paul farhi, the man who broke the news. paul, you knew about this sale a whole day before the rest of the world. what was it like walking around the newsroom holding that information in, keeping that secret? >> well, there was a kind of tension there because i wanted to tell everybody what i knew. we're reporters. our job is to wave our hands and say we know something. on the other hand, i didn't want guys like you to get the story before "the washington post" could break its own news. so those two things sort of kept my mouth shut. >> and you talked to jeff bezos beforehand. you're the only reporter who's talked to him. what was your takeaway from that conversation. >> kind of a mystery, to tell you the truth. seemed like a guy who had some interest in newspaper bus couldn't exactly articulate what the plan was going to be, because i sense that he hasn't quite developed the plan in detail yet. of course pressed for answers, wanted him to lay it all out for us but it's not there yet or at least
