The Washington Post is undergoing layoffs affecting about 4% of its workforce, as it grapples with significant financial losses and a changing industry landscape.
The cuts primarily target advertising sales, marketing, and IT divisions, while the newsroom remains protected despite past layoffs through a voluntary buyout program.
Will Lewis, the publisher, noted that in 2023, The Post lost $77 million and has seen a decline in its digital audience since 2020.
The newspaper's ongoing transformation aims to adjust to market demands, including a controversial decision to stop endorsing presidential candidates, which drew subscriber backlash.
