Washington Post Reverses Decision on Olympics Coverage

The newspaper will send a small team of reporters to cover the Olympics after it informed sports journalists on Friday that the paper would not send a group.

The Washington Post is reversing course on its Winter Olympics plans — again.

The newspaper originally intended to send more than a dozen journalists to cover the event, which has long been a major priority for The Post. Those employees were notified in a terse email on Friday, less than three weeks before the Olympics begin, that The Post would not send any of them.

Now, The Post expects to send four journalists, according to three people with knowledge of the decision. A spokeswoman for The Post confirmed the paper would be sending a small contingent.
