Eugene Robinson Departs Washington Post Over Bezos' Editorial Shift

Pulitzer-winning columnist cites Jeff Bezos' new focus on 'personal liberties and free markets' as the reason for his resignation after 45 years at the paper.

Eugene Robinson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, announced his departure from The Washington Post, citing Jeff Bezos' editorial changes as the catalyst.
This marks the third high-profile resignation following Bezos' February directive to reshape the opinion section around 'personal liberties and free markets.'
Robinson, who has been with the paper since 1980, plans to continue his career in journalism despite leaving The Post.
The opinion section remains without a leader after the earlier resignation of editor David Shipley, reflecting ongoing internal uncertainty.
Bezos' editorial overhaul and decision to stop endorsing presidential candidates have raised concerns about the paper's direction and neutrality.
