"I am crushed that so many of my beloved colleagues have lost their jobs and our readers have been given less news and sound analysis, Woodward said in his first public remarks on the cuts, which were shared on X. They deserve more. Woodward said the Post had produced many superb and excellent groundbreaking stories under executive editor Matt Murray. There will be more, Woodward said. I will do everything in my power to help make sure the Washington Post thrives and survives."
"His statement comes after the storied newspaper laid off about a third of its staff on Wednesday, or more than 300 journalists. The move has resulted in the shuttering of the paper's sports department and the shredding of teams covering local news, style and the world not to mention its audio and video departments, which had already been battered by previous cuts."
The Washington Post laid off about a third of its staff—more than 300 journalists—leading to the shuttering of the sports department and the dismantling of teams covering local news, style, world, audio and video, and commercial units. Bob Woodward said he is crushed that many colleagues lost their jobs and that readers now have less news and sound analysis, and he pledged to help the Post thrive and survive. The Post produced groundbreaking stories under executive editor Matt Murray. Former editor Marty Baron warned the cuts could reduce subscribers and risk a 'death spiral.' The paper previously lost hundreds of thousands of subscribers after owner Jeff Bezos shelved a planned presidential endorsement.
