Shitty Washington Post Publisher Loses Job After Skipping Out To The Super Bowl
…The #WashingtonPost Guild, the #union representing staff members, called #WillLewis’ exit long overdue.
“His legacy will be the attempted destruction of a great American #journalism institution,” the Guild said in a statement. “But it’s not too late to save The Post. #JeffBezos must immediately rescind these layoffs or sell the paper to someone willing to invest in its future.”
#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.
Martin Baron, the Post’s first editor under #JeffBezos, condemned his former boss this week for attempting to curry favor with #Trump & called what has happened at the #newspaper “a case study in near-instant, self-inflicted brand destruction.”
The British-born #WillLewis was a former top executive at The Wall Street Journal before taking over at The #WashingtonPost in Jan 2024.
They came on top of widespread talent defections in recent years at the newspaper, which lost tens of thousands of subscribers following #Bezos’ order late in the 2024 presidential campaign pulling a planned endorsement of #KamalaHarris, & a subsequent reorienting of its #opinion section in a more #conservative direction.

Neither Lewis nor the newspaper’s #billionaire owner #JeffBezos participated in the meeting with staff members announcing the layoffs Wednesday. While anticipated, the cutbacks were deeper than expected, resulting in the shutdown of the Post’s renowned #sports section, the elimination of its #photography staff & sharp reductions in personnel responsible for coverage of metropolitan Washington & overseas.

Lewis announced his departure in a 2-paragraph email to the newspaper’s staff, saying that after 2 years of transformation, “now is the right time for me to step aside.” The Post’s CFO, Jeff D’Onofrio, was appointed temporary publisher.

Washington Post publisher Will Lewis says he’s stepping down, three days after the troubled newspaper said that it was laying off one-third of its staff. Lewis sent an email Saturday to the Post’s staff, saying that “difficult decisions have been taken in order to ensure the sustainable future of The Post.” Lewis and the newspaper’s billionaire owner Jeff Bezos, did not participate in a meeting with staff announcing the layoffs this week. The Post’s chief financial officer, Jeff D’Onofrio, was named acting publisher and CEO. The British-born Lewis was a former top executive at The Wall Street Journal before taking over at The Post in January 2024. His tenure has been rocky from the start, marked by layoffs and a failed reorganization plan.
