Washington Post Staff Urges Bezos to Address Leadership Concerns

Over 400 employees signed a letter calling for the owner to meet with newsroom leaders amid dissatisfaction with leadership and editorial direction.

More than 400 Washington Post staff members signed a letter to Jeff Bezos expressing concerns over leadership decisions and the paper's direction.
The letter highlighted issues such as reader distrust, declining subscriptions, and the departure of prominent staff members.
Employees criticized recent leadership under CEO Will Lewis, though no individual was named explicitly in the letter.
The staff urged Bezos to reaffirm the paper's core values and meet with newsroom leaders to address transparency and trust concerns.
The Post has faced substantial challenges, including the controversial decision to forgo a 2024 presidential endorsement, which led to significant subscriber losses.
