Jeff Bezos doesn’t spend much time in Washington, D.C. or at the offices of his Washington Post, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t mean he isn’t thinking about the newspaper he bought for $250 million in 2013. He regularly meets with editors and executives by conference call and in-person in Seattle, but Bezos said he uses some more personal time to think about the paper.

Luckily for us, journalists like to live-tweet events, so Post staffers gave us a play-by-play account of Bezos’ talk.

In addition to offers to Donald Trump, Bezos discussed the future of the Post’s print edition, the state of diversity in the newsroom, and the importance of turning users who visit the Post online into paying customers. Here are the highlights:

Bezos: "My prediction is, [the Post] is going to be in investment mode for some time."

Bezos on diversity at @washingtonpost: "You have to acknowledge it's an issue." But doesn't say much beyond that.

On diversity issues today, Bezos has been very quick to acknowledge issues, and absolutely cut off all discussions of solutions.
