It is the most widely circulated newspaper in the Washington metropolitan area. The Post was founded in 1877. In its early years, it went through several owners and struggled both financially and editorially.

Hard power
In politics, hard power is the use of military and economic means to influence the behavior or interests of other political bodies. This form of political power is often aggressive (coercion), and is most immediately effective when imposed by one political body upon another of less military and/or economic power. Hard power contrasts with soft power, which comes from diplomacy, culture and history. According to Joseph Nye, hard power involves "the ability to use the carrots and sticks of economic and military might to make others follow your will".
