In terms of content, we’re not looking at hyperlocal content outside of our home market, you’ve got to do what you know. But we’d like to do more in Europe and we have some plans to do that.” Asked if the company would launch editions in other languages, Little said: “We are talking about doing a few, but probably not a full version.” For example, washingtonpost.com will translate some articles to Spanish for America’s Hispanic audience.
