The Washington Post is the largest and most circulated newspaper in Washington, D.C,
USA, and is the city’s oldest newspaper, founded in 1877. It is widely considered to be one of the
most important newspapers in the United States due to its particular emphasis on national politics,
and international affairs, and being a newspaper of record. Even so, the Washington Post has always
been defined as a local paper and does not print any editions for the outside region beyond that of
the D.C, Maryland, or Virginia editions for daily circulation.
The newspaper is published as a broadsheet, with photographs printed both in color as well
as in black and white. Weekday printings include the main section, containing the first page,
national, international news, politics, and editorials and opinions, followed by the sections on local
news (Metro), sports, business, style (feature writing on pop culture, politics, fine and performing
arts, film, fashion, and gossip), and classified ads.
The Sunday edition includes the weekday sections as well as several weekly sections:
Outlook (opinion and editorials), Style and Arts, Sunday Source, Travel, Book world, Comics, TV
week, and the Washington Post Magazine. Beyond the newspaper, the Washington Post under its
parent company of the Washington Post Company is involved with the Washington Post,
Newsweek Interactive and Washingtonpost.com.
