The Washington Post series is comprised of correspondence, staff memos, policy documents, clippings, photographs, proposals and reports, and budget materials related to the internal operations of the Washington Post newspaper and newsroom. This series is divided into two groups: the Career file and the Subject file. The Career file reflects the activities Downie participated in or contributed to while holding various positions during his career at the Washington Post, maintaining the arrangement of material as received. The Subject file includes material on topics such as individual newspaper features and sections, guidance on story and editorial decisions, newsroom operations and diversity, committee reports, and organizational infrastructure. A significant amount of files cover Downie’s attendance at “Pugwash,” the annual planning retreat for top management and senior editors of the Washington Post. These include meeting agendas and minutes, presentation slides and notes, correspondence, planning proposals and reports, travel documents, statistics, and budget materials.
Material types include correspondence, staff memos, policy documents, clippings, photographs, proposals and reports, budget materials, meeting agendas and minutes, and presentation slides and notes.
Arranged alphabetically by subject.
