Washington Post CEO Steps Down After Mass Layoffs
The chief executive of the Washington Post, Will Lewis, is stepping down, just days after the newspaper announced mass lay-offs, cutting a third of its workforce. Lewis said it was the right time to leave, citing "difficult decisions" to ensure the paper's future. The decision has been met with widespread criticism, including from former executive editor Marty Baron, who called the cuts "among the darkest days" in the newspaper's history.
