The Washington Post laid off about one in three employees across the company Wednesday morning, dealing another big blow to a newsroom that has reached a breaking point.
The impacts include dramatically shrinking the Metro desk, shutting down almost the entire Sports section, closing the Books section, and cancelling the daily “Post Reports” podcast, sources at the newspaper said.
The Post’s international coverage is also being markedly reduced, though some bureaus outside the US will maintain a “strategic overseas presence,” Murray said.
Major cuts are also being made on the business side of the Post’s beleaguered operations.

More Americans losing their livelihood for benefit of 1% is not good news. Any job loss is not good news. Political glasses off and you will see this is a worse America

It sucks for these people but we’re living in an age where the vast majority of people don’t read articles anymore. It’s all about the headline (often times not even by the author but instead a user on which ever site it was posted on) followed by jumping straight into the comment section with an opinion already formed
I try to stop myself but I do it too many times too

Your post implies that you believe the wapo’s product is “truth”.
That is silly.

Saw a tweet by a laid off writer this morning
She was like “
Well this is my last day at the post, at least my last column was about the muppets”
And then I immediately didn’t feel sorry for her anymore at all

136 newspapers closed permanently or merged in the last year alone. The industry has averaged around a 7% reduction in workforce each year since 2020.
I think we can safely assume that it's a dead industry. It's really been on this course since the early 90's. I'm actually a bit surprised that it's hung on for this long.
Newspapers today are the equivalent of using horses as transportation 30 years post the introduction of the Model T.

There’s a reason, it’s been known as the Washington ComPost for years!

they are losing their jobs because they work for a company who sells a product that people don't want, and has been replaced by a new technology.
They same as employees who worked for carbon paper and buggy whip manufacturers.

Ironic because if the traditional journalists would have taken their political glasses off sometime in the past 20 years or so, their business might not be in such decline to where they're losing their jobs. The journalism industry has no one to blame but themselves for people not trusting them and tuning them out.
Remember when it was journalists telling laid off miners and oil workers they should learn to code? Guess the journalists will need to take their own advice now

If I get in a hole and continue to dig, that is on me. This is exactly what the Washington Post did.
