Washington Post's editor to retire

The Washington Post executive editor Leonard Downie is to retire in the autumn after 17 years in the job and 44 years with the paper. Since taking over the senior editorial post, Downie, 66, has guided the Post to win 25 Pulitzer Prizes. He also pioneered the Post's online-print integration. Its website enjoyed early success at attracting online readers, but it had been operated separately from its print operations. (Via Reuters)
