Bezos Reshapes Major Newspaper With Layoffs
Bezos is restructuring the Washington Post after firing roughly one-third of its journalists this week, installing Will Lewis and creating a corporate-aligned 'Third Newsroom' rebranded as WP Ventures. The article traces Bezos's 2013 purchase, newsroom growth from 580 to over 1,000 under editor Marty Baron, 10 Pulitzers, peak 22.5 million DAU in early 2021, and subsequent declines including $177 million losses in 2022–2023. The shift deprioritizes political reporting in favor of lifestyle, social-first content and corporate oversight.
