Washington Post Publisher Resigns After Layoffs Trigger Leadership Shake-Up
Will Lewis resigns as Washington Post publisher three days after the paper laid off about one-third of its newsroom staff, saying it’s time to step aside after two years of transformation. Jeff D'Onofrio, the CFO and former Tumblr CEO, will become acting publisher as the Post reorganizes—slashing foreign coverage and several sections, with executive editor Matt Murray noting the changes aim to strengthen the paper amid a tech-driven news era, and Bezos thanked for his support.
