The Washington Post is currently experiencing severe disruptions, highlighted by the recent layoff of approximately 100 staffers, amounting to about 4% of its workforce. Many journalists are exiting, leading to an alarmingly high loss of digital readership, which has shrunk by nearly 90% during recent years. As internal drama ensues, more than 400 employees have urgently appealed to owner Jeff Bezos for an emergency summit, expressing deep concerns regarding the direction of the newspaper. The publication has suffered a reported financial loss of $100 million, exacerbated by a perceived identity crisis and an exodus of talent. Staff members are begging for a clearer vision and a restoration of trust in leadership amid fears of further job cuts.
