Although it had the same owner as "The Washington Post", few of the hard-news stories were written by "Post" staff. "Express" relied on syndicated content and wire services—particularly the Associated Press and Getty images—for most of its content. In general, "Express"' content tended to be lighter than the "Post"'s—it included sections like "People" (celebrity gossip), "Trending" (social media and Internet culture), and "page three" and "eyeopeners" (highlighting uplifting or humorous stories)—and tended to emphasize local and sports news more than the "Post". The cover story of "Express" was often a sports story, for instance.
