DEMOCRACY DIES IN "THE NEWSROOM REMAINS LARGELY IN THE DARK"-NESS
Cuts to reshape Washington Post By Erik Wemple and Katie Robertson NEW YORK TIMES Fewer reporters are being sent to the Super Bowl. Foreign correspondents are being asked to hold off on trips to conflict zones. And editors are being encouraged to experiment with new forms of storytelling. The Post's leadership is expected to announce significant layoffs in the newsroom and the business sides of the paper in the coming days, as part of an effort to end years of financial losses, according to three people with direct knowledge of the changes. The Post's leadership is expected to announce significant layoffs in the newsroom and the business sides of the paper in the coming days, as part of an effort to end years of financial losses, according to three people with direct knowledge of the changes. But the cuts also appear to be aimed at something else: reorienting the Post's coverage. The sports, local, and international sections are preparing to take a disproportionate share of the pain. At the same time, the paper's video journalists, as well as reporters and editors focused on politics and national security - two of the paper's signature coverage areas - are expected to become even more central to the company's future. The cuts are intended to direct the Post's resources to topics that executives believe better align with the newsroom's areas of expertise and reader interests, one of the people said. The hope, the person said, is that the moves will help make the paper self-sustaining — a goal set long ago by its owner, Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder. The company has lost hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years. The newsroom remains largely in the dark on the specifics of the staff reductions and the long-term plan for the organization. Last year, the Post completed a round of buyouts that trimmed the newsroom by dozens of journalists. In the months since, many of the journalists who remain have grown increasingly frustrated about the lack of clarity from Bezo…
