TL;DR

Will Lewis, The Washington Post’s chief executive and publisher, has stepped down after a tumultuous tenure that included a 30 percent staff cut (over 300 journalists) and ongoing profitability challenges; CFO Jeff D’Onofrio will serve as interim CEO. Bezos praised The Post’s mission in a brief statement. Lewis’s leadership coincided with newsroom tensions, major reorganization, and experimental initiatives (AI, Ripple, and an ambitious subscriber goal), but critics say it culminated in a mass exodus and damaged morale, with no charges filed against him.
