When people ask me about my hobbies

When people ask me about my hobbies
I remember the first time Marty remembered my name when he made his nightly rounds walking around the old newsroom.
It was the first time I felt like I was actually part of the club.

Nothing was more Washington Post than Marty Weil starting his night shift by walking around the newsroom saying hello to every single person at their desks
Martin Weil, one of hundreds of journalists being let go at The Washington Post, has worked on local news there since 1965.

I was laid off today, among hundreds of others at The Washington Post.
I loved covering games here, and I am so proud of our international coverage.
My colleagues — those who lost their jobs and those who didn't — are rockstars. It was such an honor to work alongside them.

From Ashley Parker for The Atlantic: "The Post was also how I fell in love with journalism."
I was an avid reader of KidsPost. Back of Style, next to the comics. It's how I built a habit for reading and a love for the news. Feeling for my hometown paper today.

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning.
Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section.

I left The Post in November after 10 years. So, I don’t want to speak for my friends there.
The newsroom is filled with incredible, hard-working journalists and The Post is lucky to have them.
