#WillLewis’ tenure has been rocky from the start, marked by layoffs & a failed reorganization plan that led to the departure of former top #editor #SallyBuzbee.

His initial choice to take over for Buzbee, Robert Winnett, withdrew from the job after #ethical questions were raised about both he & Lewis’ actions while working in England. They include paying for info that produced major stories, actions that would be considered #unethical in US #journalism.

Dan Kennedy TLDR: "executive editor Sally Buzbee, who left the Post a week ago, was not fired; rather, she quit rather than accept a demotion to a new role… What are the odds of her returning triumphantly to the newsroom on Monday? No doubt that would require an apology by owner Jeff Bezos as well as some guaranteed job security. But that would seem to be Bezos’ best option at this point."

In the waning yrs of his tenure, Ryan met w/frustration among many Post execs, who felt he was presiding over a stultified #business culture at the newspaper. He also clashed w/ #SallyBuzbee, the exec #editor, over a #personnel issue, & his exit was viewed within the newsroom as a victory for #Buzbee.

Medienkrieg

Wird der Dritte Weltkrieg durch ein weltumspannendes mächtiges Massenmedium ausgelöst? Möglich ist das. Die Agentur Associated Press (AP) war nah dran. In einem Text von Sebastian Köhler/telepolis wird zurecht die Frage aufgeworfen, ob diese Medienmacht mit einem einzelnen Bauernopfer davonkommt: “Falschmeldung zu Raketeneinschlag in Polen: Guter Geheimdienstglaube? – Leitende Redakteure der weltgrößten Nachrichtenagentur AP setzen sich dem Verdacht der übermäßigen Staatsnähe aus. Falschmeldung hatte fast dritten Weltkrieg ausgelöst. Fehler zog lediglich ein ‘Bauernopfer’ nach sich.” […]
