Overview
- The overhaul closes the sports and books departments in their current forms, suspends the Post Reports podcast, restructures Metro, and sharply reduces foreign bureaus.
- More than 300 of roughly 800 newsroom roles are affected, according to reports from CNN and The New York Times, with cuts extending across news and business units.
- Executive editor Matt Murray told staff politics and government will remain the largest desk, with some sports journalists reassigned to cover the culture of sports.
- The Post Guild condemned the cuts and is organizing a Thursday protest, as the National Press Club warned the reductions would weaken public accountability reporting.
- Owner Jeff Bezos has not issued a public response; reported operating losses include about $77 million in 2023 and $100 million in 2024, as critics also link subscriber losses to prior editorial decisions.
