The Washington Post has hired Adam O'Neal as its new opinion editor as part of an initiative by owner Jeff Bezos to emphasize economic and personal liberties. O'Neal, previously with The Economist and The Wall Street Journal, aims to make the section unapologetically patriotic, while introducing technological improvements. This shift comes after a tumultuous year for the opinion section, marked by the cessation of presidential endorsements and notable staff departures, including cartoonist Ann Telnaes. Chief executive Will Lewis highlighted the need for the opinion coverage to align with core values and remain accessible to its audience.
Mr. O'Neal emphasized that he aims to enhance The Post's opinion section by focusing on economic and personal liberties, while also being unapologetically patriotic.
Will Lewis expressed confidence in Mr. O'Neal's ability to modernize the opinion section, ensuring it remains relevant and accessible to the underserved readers.
