This #WaPo slogan is outdated.
Democracy dies in darkness was the official slogan of the American newspaper The Washington Post since 2017. It was meant to symbolise that a thriving democracy requires transparency and illumination of government actions and decisions.

Washington Post to Merge Metro Coverage Into
Sports and Style Sections
. Last fall, when owner Jeff Bezos
began taking a wrecking ball to the
paper’s opinion section by killing a
planned endorsement of Kamala Harris
just before the election, paid digital was
thought to be around 2.5 million. About
200,000 vanished overnight. And who

damage caused by high-profile
resignations such as that of Pulitzer
Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes
and Bezos’ announcement that he
