The #WashingtonPost is laying off ONE-THIRD of its staff in the #newsroom & other departments, a brutal blow at one of #journalism’s most legendary brands.

The troubled Post began implementing large-scale cutbacks on Wednesday, including eliminating its sports department & shrinking the number of #journalists it stations overseas. The changes were announced by executive editor Matt Murray in a Zoom meeting with staff.
