“The Sea," winner of the Ophir Prize for best Israeli film, has finally opened in theaters around Israel. It's a superb story of a Palestinian boy who crosses into Israel illegally.

The point of having a standards editor is that you bring in a skilled, disinterested person to read or watch a story and point out possible bias, errors and lapses.
The actual story editors can miss those things because they're so closely tied to the production and reporting of the piece.

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

Update: In 3 recent editorials, WaPo failed to disclose owner Jeff Bezos's interest in the matter under discussion.
WaPo added one disclosure after @bgrueskin.bsky.social called it out.
Two weeks after my story, the other two editorials still have none. And the paper still won't say why

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties
Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

This has always seemed like the key issue. Bezos and Lewis, understandably, want the Post to be profitable. But the actions they've taken with Opinion (killing the Kamala endorsement, firing their top talent, etc) have consistently undermined that strategy. bsky.app/profile/dave...
Will Lewis gets up every day asking: How can I get more suburban DC readers to cancel their subscriptions? It's called grindset and you wouldn't understand.
In a nearly illiterate editorial, WaPo defends Trump's ballroom project, without revealing the fact that the paper's owner, Jeff Bezos, is a principal funder of the project. Shameful conduct all around. bsky.app/profile/bgru...
