Welcome to life under the Washington Post-New York Times swap. As part of a secret arrangement formed more than 10 years ago, the Post and Times send each other copies of their next day's front pages every night. The formal sharing began as a courtesy between Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. and former Times Executive Editor Joseph Lelyveld in the early 1990s and has continued ever since.
Peer to peer exchange is common in other sectors like science research and development. Some critics think the New York Times and the Washington Post's relationship is incestous. If this is the case the Times-Post rivalry is unique in that it is a myth.
