The #WashingtonPost is laying off ONE-THIRD of its staff in the #newsroom & other departments, a brutal blow at one of #journalism’s most legendary brands.

The troubled Post began implementing large-scale cutbacks on Wednesday, including eliminating its sports department & shrinking the number of #journalists it stations overseas. The changes were announced by executive editor Matt Murray in a Zoom meeting with staff.

The staff reduction is a significant psychic blow at the Post, known in history books for its #Watergate revelations & most recently for aggressive coverage of #Trump’s cutbacks to the federal workforce, & for #journalism in general.

Staff members in the #newsroom were told they would be getting emails with one of two subject lines, announcing that the person’s role has or hasn’t been eliminated.
