NEW YORK (AP) - The Washington Post asked lobbyists and business leaders to pay $25,000 to attend a dinner discussion with government officials and journalists at the home of its publisher, and then canceled the event after the invitations became public.
The newspaper's executive editor, Marcus Brauchli, said Thursday that no one in the newsroom had vetted the invitation and its journalists would not participate.
"The Washington Post's name is not for sale," Brauchli said. "The Washington Post's reputation is not for sale."
