Many in the media industry feared layoffs when reports emerged that The Washington Post would restructure its newsroom. After several hundred journalists lost their jobs at the newspaper and entire news desks were shuttered this week, the reality was more sweeping than anticipated, drawing widespread scrutiny in what one news outlet called a “murder.” There was additional blowback given the Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos, is one of the world’s wealthiest people.
The Post has laid off “about 30% of all its employees,” including people “on the business side and more than 300 of the roughly 800 journalists in the newsroom,” said The New York Times. This decision was made because the company had “lost too much money for too long and had not been meeting readers’ needs.
The historic publication is also restructuring its entire newsroom output. The newspaper is “scaling back foreign coverage and shutting down some sections of the paper,” said CBS News. Most notable was the Post’s sports desk, which will be axed entirely, though it will keep “some sports reporters who will write feature stories.”
Maybe now they'll focus a bit more on actually reporting news instead of the way they've historically been bending and shaping the news to their leftie agenda.
Is it possible that 'woke-osity' is finally, once and for all, dead in Journalism? Don't bet the ranch on it, but let this be the first shoe to fall. Juss' sayin'...
