Absolutely compelling thread. Worth your time.
Today I was walking back from an errand when I woman flagged me down and pointed at a cat laying at her feet. A black tuxie, very skinny and very much worse for wear. “I would take him but he won’t let me pick him up,” she said. “Really?” I said, and cradled my sweatshirt around him. /1

As part of their commitment to "keeping print strong," they have laid off 80 percent of a world-class (literally, they have the awards to prove it) design staff as well as all of their photographers.
Pretty bad look when you're lying to your highest paying customers right out of the gate.

The Washington Post ran a full-page letter to subscribers in today's print edition from exec editor Matt Murray stating that it is committed to sports and local coverage after laying off the vast majority of the staff on those desks

A complete and utter embarassment.
I don't see how Will Lewis can effectively lead WaPo.
Lewis did not save Bezos from himself on opinion pages. (375K+ cancelations) His innovations did not stem enough red ink.
And he has not taken any ownership of the devastating ensuing cuts. He's making Murray own it alone.

Some of the best sports design ever done was at the Post
I don't think people realize just how titanic the Post Sports section really was, how much talent was assembled there. And it wasn't just the marquee names, they had fantastic editors, the best photographers, longtime desk hands who could spin gold when needed.
