The Washington Post is undergoing significant upheaval following the resignation of its CEO and publisher, Will Lewis, amid massive layoffs that have affected approximately one-third of its workforce, including 300 newsroom positions. According to Intellectia, these cuts have led to the closure of several sections such as sports and photography, marking one of the most dramatic restructurings in the paper's history. Lewis, who joined the Post in January 2024, announced his resignation through a brief email stating, 'After years of transformation at The Washington Post, now is the right time to step aside.' Jeff D'Onofrio, the Chief Financial Officer, has been appointed as the interim publisher, with a focus on maintaining the Post's journalistic mission during these challenging times.
