The Washington Post cannot move forward under the leadership that caused this crisis. Will Lewis’s decisions drove the Post to this breaking point.

Will Lewis’s exit is long overdue. His legacy will be the attempted destruction of a great American journalism institution. But it's not too late to save The Post. Jeff Bezos must immediately rescind these layoffs or sell the paper to someone willing to invest in its future.

These layoffs are shameful, and we are all worse off because of them. Still, we will continue to fight for journalism and for a free press.

Based on the median WaPo reporter salary from a 2019 @postguild.bsky.social report (adjusted for inflation, because of course salaries scaled with cost of living, ha ha I laugh so I don’t cry), Bezos threw 300 of his employees’ lives into chaos to save the equivalent of $30 to the average American.

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

The Washington-Baltimore News Guild strongly condemns the layoffs announced today at The Washington Post. These cuts represent yet another blow to a newsroom that has already been pushed to its limits and a disservice to the readers who rely on The Post for rigorous, independent journalism.
