The Washington Post Writers GroupWPWG ), a division of The Washington Post News Service & Syndicate , is a press syndication service distributing opinion columnists, breaking news, podcasts and video journalism, lifestyle content, and graphics and data visualizations. The service is operated by The Washington Post [1]
History [ edit ]
The Washington Post Writers Group formed in 1973.[2]
In 2009, the Post dissolved its relationship with the Los Angeles Times (see the Los Angeles Times–Washington Post News Service ) and joined with Bloomberg News to form The Washington Post News Service with Bloomberg News , which provided up to 150 national and international stories plus photos and graphics.[3] [4]
In 2013 the Writers Group was providing syndicated columns, editorial cartoons, features, and comic strips to newspapers, magazines, and other subscribers globally.[2]
The Washington Post Writers Group wound down distributing editorial cartoons and comic strips starting in early 2022;[5] [6] [7] [8] [8] Clay Bennett , Jack Ohman , and Pedro X. Molina — left for Nick Anderson 's Counterpoint Media , which launched its own syndication service.[8]
Writers [ edit ]
Writers syndicated by the group include Eugene Robinson , Kathleen Parker , E. J. Dionne , George Will , and Ruth Marcus . The late Charles Krauthammer was also a syndicate member.
Comic strips [ edit ]
The syndicate began distributing comic strips in the early 1970s;[8] Berkeley Breathed 's Bloom County Brian Crane 's Pickles [8] Dave Blazek 's Loose Parts [8] Darrin Bell 's strips Rudy Park Candorville [7]
