Robert Winnett Withdraws from Washington Post Editor Role Amid Ethical Concerns and Internal Turmoil
Jun 21, 2024, 12:43 PM
Robert Winnett, the British journalist who was recently appointed to become the next editor of The Washington Post, has decided not to take the position and will remain at The Daily Telegraph in London. This decision follows scrutiny over his journalistic practices, ethical concerns, and internal turmoil at The Washington Post. Telegraph editor Chris Evans informed staff that Winnett's decision is a loss for The Washington Post but a gain for The Telegraph. Washington Post CEO Will Lewis confirmed Winnett's withdrawal in an internal memo on Friday, and the search for a new editor will continue.
