The Washington Post suffered massive layoffs this week under billionaire owner Jeff Bezos. “Every piece of the paper is affected. We lost all of our photojournalists.

The Washington Post under Jeff Bezos is hit with crushing layoffs
This week, The Washington Post suffered mass layoffs that gutted the venerable newspaper’s staff by a third. Billionaire owner Jeff Bezos was once lauded for his stewardship of The Post. But former deputy editor Ruth Marcus writes, “He seems content to let the paper limp along, diminished in size and ambition.”
