Washington Post Turmoil: Leadership Shake-Up and Allegations of Meddling

CEO Will Lewis under fire for handling of executive changes and attempts to influence coverage, as staff morale plummets

Washington Post CEO Will Lewis faces backlash over the sudden departure of executive editor Sally Buzbee and subsequent leadership changes.
Reports suggest Lewis attempted to influence coverage of his involvement in the British phone-hacking scandal, leading to internal and external criticism.
Staff morale at the Washington Post is reportedly at an all-time low following the leadership shake-up and accusations of diversity neglect.
Lewis has acknowledged the need for better communication and trust-building within the organization but has yet to fully address the concerns raised by staff.
The introduction of a new 'service and social-media journalism' division has raised questions about the future direction of the Post.
