I'm hearing people say they will no longer subscribe to The Washington Post, but there are still great writers there doing great work - that's what your subscription is funding. Without The Post, we wouldn't have good stories like this one: wapo.st/4arCIML

The Washington Post has the best sports section in the country, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. Only a soulless corporate goon would think the paper is better without it. A short-sighted, cowardly decision. Shame is your legacy.

Don't see how cutting international reporting would tie into a strategy of leaning into national security coverage (or even politics coverage, which is also strengthened by having the ability to cover the world) via Puck: puck.news/why-the-washin…

The @washingtonpost is hands-down, no-contest the best place I ever worked. Our sports department was a family who looked out for each other, not in the ‘fake sappy way,’ but in the actually ‘had your back’ way. But beyond that it was also one of the best damn reporting and writing groups on the planet, producing some of your favorite writers, authors and TV personalities. I will forever be grateful to the legendary George Solomon for bringing me in as an intern at age 19, asking me for three years to drop out of college 😂😂😂 and then giving this DC-native a real job at 22, a job that he let me stay at for nearly 10 years. The people who work there now are doing it under way, way more difficult conditions than I ever had to deal with, and the idea that their reward is…this, is unfathomable. I’m so sad for my hometown paper. Democracy does indeed die in the darkness. And the people turning out the lights should be ashamed of themselves. #savethePost
Sports Business Journal@SBJ

The Washington Post’s sports department could be shuttered entirely amid massive layoffs, per @PuckNews. The expectation is that hundreds could be affected, and @semafor reports some editors have quietly suggested staff begin looking for other jobs. MORE: ow.ly/Qqe350Y3UgP

The most-read story on the @washingtonpost website today was reported from Germany. There is demand for more international coverage, not less. @JeffBezos foreign correspondence is part of the solution, not the problem. #savethepost

The @WashPost has allowed me to investigate the sports betting industry while much of sports media seemed beholden to gambling advertisers. The Sports section is filled with incredibly kind, talented people whose work I love reading #savethepost

I've lived a blessed life in journalism. My 10 years at the @washingtonpost were the greatest blessing of all. Our Sports staff is elite. Foreign. National. Local. Style. Politics. Audio. Video. Social. Photo. Design. Every single department. An amazing, gifted fam. #SaveThePost

Cutting coverage of the stories that serve as a glue for a community is how so many local and regional news orgs cratered in the last 15 years. The Post is behaving as if it has no idea who its actual readers are. They are making business decisions based on readers they don’t have yet and may never get.

Also, and this would be a 50 tweet thread if I really let loose: sports matter. They matter more than ever when we can’t seem to figure things out in the traditional civic settings. They provide joy and hope and inspiration, they force conversations.

When I joined @postlocal in 2020, we had a staff of between 80 and 90 people. Now, we’re hovering at about 40. And yet, we still break news of national/int’l import. We hold power accountable. Our work changes lives. The nation’s capital needs a hometown newspaper. #SaveThePost

This is heartbreaking. When I lived in Washington in the late 90s, the Post sports pages were awesome, one reason (along with SI and the old Globe sports staff) that inspired me to begin imagining myself as an investigative reporter covering sports.
Puck@PuckNews

Washington Post CEO Will Lewis has decided to focus the company's editorial investment on a few core coverage areas—national security, politics, etc—and not sports. Layoffs are expected to begin as soon as this week. @Ourand_Puck & @DylanByers report: puck.news/why-the-washin…

Chevy Chase is 74, sober and ready to work. The problem? Nobody wants to work with him. The man who helped revolutionize TV comedy with SNL in the ’70s is a tangle of contradictions. wapo.st/2D9UHuA

Good morning @geoffedgers I enjoyed your interview with Rosie O. I have been to Ireland twice and couldn’t think of a better place to hang for at least the next few years. Thank you.

Rosie O'Donnell moved to Ireland to escape the emotional toll of Donald Trump’s presidency. In Ireland, she found solace and a renewed connection to her craft, despite her ongoing fixation with Trump. Here’s what she’s been up to: wapo.st/4a0MPtj
