Bezos backs Washington Post through broad layoffs, says owner supports reinvention

TL;DR
Bezos remains supportive of The Washington Post as it conducts sweeping layoffs that cut roughly a third of staff, including hundreds in the newsroom. Editor-in-chief Matt Murray says Bezos backs reinvention and a path to profitability, while insisting the owner does not interfere with news coverage. The staff reductions have intensified questions about the paper’s future and whether Bezos might sell, though Murray and others argue the Post can still pursue aggressive reporting and growth.
