Katharine Weymouth apologizes for making the price tag so big and shiny:
We have canceled the planned dinner. While I do believe there is a
legitimate way to hold such events, to the extent that we hold events
in the future, large or small, we will review the guidelines for them
with The Post’s top editors and make sure those guidelines are strictly
followed. Further, any conferences or similar events The Post sponsors
will be on the record.

The commenters aren’t buying it:
—
Your ombudsman referred to this incident a “PR disaster”. I wonder what he would consider a real disaster.

Promote Dan Froomkin to Editor-in-Chief and maybe I’ll re-subscribe some day.
