Katharine Weymouth Quotations

Women are often meeker in meetings and afraid to ask for raises and promotions. I've told countless female colleagues to stop apologizing when they ask for more. It's not personal, it's business.

I dont personally feel that I have to save democracy and journalism.

Hillary Clinton famously talked about how raising a child takes a village. Except our society isn't set up that way. We're organized in nuclear units, and a single mom can ask her friends only so many times for help picking up the kids.

My mother doesn't cook; my grandmother didn't cook. Her kids were raised by servants. They would joke about Sunday night dinner. It was the only night she would cook, and apparently it was just horrendous, like scrambled eggs and Campbell's soup.

I care deeply about journalism, but we need to be a business,

I certainly hope to be a great publisher, and if people want to love me, too, that's even better.

People assume that I came back to Washington because of the 'Post', but the truth is less romantic. I came back for a job.

I dont feel like my job is to be beloved.

I think I felt like a regular kid. Growing up in New York, I never felt I was a big deal.

It's not like I pretend the past doesn't exist or that I'm not proud to be a part of it.

Moderate to conservative Democrat. But I'm not going to impose my views on the editorial page.

Part of my job is to make the tough calls.

My grandmother knew J.F.K. and L.B.J. That was her world. I enjoy meeting interesting people. But that's not my world.

We're no longer a newspaper in the morning, we're a 24/7 newspaper organization.

People assume that I came back to Washington because of the Post, but the truth is less romantic. I came back for a job.

I think smart aggregation is a service to readers. And we do it, too ... . Whether it's a politics page and you want Dan Balz to tell you what is he reading, what does he think are the smartest articles today on the elections or the primaries. So, I think aggregation is great ... . So I'm all for aggregation. And the more eyeballs we can get to our content, the better. We do want readers to be educated and to understand the difference between, what is a source that you can trust as opposed to just rumors out there. And the difference between just repurposing content and not crediting it.
