This is… not true. The newsroom did not get used to a “blank check.” The newsroom has spent the 10 years I’ve been at The Post thinking deeply and obsessively about readership, audience, subscribers and business strategies for the digital age.
The people in charge ignored us.

Interesting perspective from a WaPo alumna: "Bezos did the opposite of what the newsroom assumed he would do: he poured obscene amounts of money into a cash incinerator. He gave the Post a fancy new building. He subsidized every section of the paper, even the ones with no readers. He expanded international. He financed experiments in video and podcasting. He gave the newsroom a blank check for over a decade. Rather than pursuing a strategy based in reality, the Post newsroom became very accustomed to a billionaire patron giving them everything they wanted in perpetuity."

A non-journalist friend asked me — is losing 300 people from a newsroom a lot?
I pointed out there are about 200 journalists at the Philadelphia Inquirer and about 100 at the Baltimore Banner. Imagine losing both those publications in a day.

Imagine shuttering a sports section right before the Olympics and Super Bowl.
No … imagine shutting it down right before your country hosts a World Cup!! And two years before it hosts the Summer Olympics!!!
What an absolutely unserious thing to do.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp. Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning.
Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section.

It takes all of us to make The Washington Post. Every section works together to create this authoritative, entertaining, worldwide news report.
So, @JeffBezos: #SaveThePost.

We had enough demand for a second bus to Fed Ex Field! Limited spots remain. Message us to get connected to the bus captain to secure your seat.

@SeanDKennedy @salleeharrison i really like it. but think they should have done the whole line or just “retire”

@salleeharrison My thoughts too. Fun idea! But my eyes skipped over the headline because it’s fun and not really an alert. But great thought!!

Just finished Guns of August, which I found very interesting - but dense. It also made me realize I have way more knowledge of WWII than WWI.
So Q for history buffs: what books should I read about WWI?
