The Post - and all major media outlets - rely on local journalists and drivers in their reporting and for their safety. Many of these people take huge personal risk to do this vital work. If you value international coverage and are in a position to help, please consider donating
Washington Post Guild@PostGuild

So many have given to The Post Guild’s fundraising effort, and we are floored. But we also ask you to consider supporting the fundraiser for our international staff and staff in our bureaus who aren’t Guild eligible. They are absolutely vital to coverage. gofund.me/a325666b6

I was laid off as Asia editor of the Washington Post today. It was an absolute privilege to work with people who are not only incredible journalists but also wonderful humans. My heart breaks for everyone who lost their job today - and for the readers who will be the worse for it

Mike is a supremely talented journalist, a beautiful writer who brought Australia in all its dimensions alive for our readers. Selfishly, I would love to keep him in Sydney so I can keep reading him. Australian editors please take note!
Michael Miller@MikeMillerDC

It was an honor to be @washingtonpost's first Sydney bureau chief. Unfortunately, I'm also the last. The paper is shrinking foreign coverage. I've lost my job. Worse, millions of readers will lose my colleagues' brilliant coverage. At a time of tumult, we need more info, not less

Today The Washington Post closed its Seoul hub, where I was working as an assignment editor. We lost about a dozen journalists in that one moment, and over the last day or so we lost so many more. Hundreds of talented journalists, the best of the best. Darkest day of my career.

The Post gave me confidence at a time when I was still finding it. My colleagues took me in like family and gave me the opportunities to tell stories of Taiwan beyond just cross-strait tensions. I wish nothing but the best for my amazing colleagues. They truly deserve better.

I wake up every morning trying to scoop the NYT, not praise it. But wanted to thank so many great reporters — @CAKitchener @amarimow @SherylNYT among them — who I spotted holding signs like this in front of Post headquarters today. (Maybe the NYT is ok after all.)

Christian is a brilliant analyst and thinker about China, with phenomenal Chinese. I learned so much from him while having the honour of being his editor. This puzzling world needs his insights more than ever.

My job was also eliminated. It’s been a thrilling challenge to cover seismic changes in China for WaPo. As access shrinks, I believe it has become ever more vital for the world to understand what is happening there. To my amazing colleagues, especially our researchers, 千恩万谢

Journalism is a privilege and it’s been an honor to write for The Washington Post for the past six years. With my team gone, my time at The Post is ending. Grateful for the space to report stories no longer possible in India. Hugely proud of the work and the people.

I've been laid off after 6 years as a copy editor at The Washington Post, where almost daily I edited some of our most harrowing foreign news coverage, incl. hundreds of stories on wars in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan + elsewhere. I've also been proud to serve as @PostGuild secretary✊
