plans to eventually put Politico’s content behind a paywall
Who would PAY to read that crap. This will be a failure. (But all-in-all, I'm pleased to know that fewer people will read their garbage.)

boost the political-news publisher’s head count by more than 10%
Is this an indicator that they want to improve the quality? They'll soon find out that adding writers won't be enough. I expect that they'll need to cull the herd and get rid of some of the lazy writers who simply CUT AND PASTE campaign press releases.

It will be interesting to see what happens here:
