The Washington Post cannot move forward under the leadership that caused this crisis. Will Lewis’s decisions drove the Post to this breaking point.

Will Lewis’s exit is long overdue. His legacy will be the attempted destruction of a great American journalism institution. But it's not too late to save The Post. Jeff Bezos must immediately rescind these layoffs or sell the paper to someone willing to invest in its future.

In a new court document, USAGM's acting director of human resources explains the many different titles that Kari Lake has held over the past year. The declaration says that Lake was only Acting CEO from July 31 to Nov. 19 and is now Deputy CEO again. (There's no CEO afaik.)

These layoffs are shameful, and we are all worse off because of them. Still, we will continue to fight for journalism and for a free press.

Bezos’ cull at the Washington Post seems almost performative. He could run it at a loss indefinitely, he could run it as a nonprofit philanthropic effort, he could sell it. But no.

There are so many talented people at the Washington Post who are being laid off because of incompetent management. The Post deserves a steward who invests in quality journalism that serves the public.
The Washington-Baltimore News Guild strongly condemns the layoffs announced today at The Washington Post. These cuts represent yet another blow to a newsroom that has already been pushed to its limits and a disservice to the readers who rely on The Post for rigorous, independent journalism.
