Washington Post Restructures Under CEO Will Lewis, Creates 'Third Newsroom'

Jun 3, 2024, 01:21 AM

The Washington Post is undergoing a significant restructuring under CEO Will Lewis, who is consolidating newsroom resources into two groups reporting directly to him. The restructuring includes the creation of a new 'third newsroom' that will focus on social media, service journalism, and the use of artificial intelligence. Additionally, the paper is dividing its content into distinct sections: traditional news, opinion, and a new format for those who prefer non-traditional news. This move has raised concerns among subscribers about the value of their subscriptions, especially with David Shipley overseeing the opinion section. Notably, Rob Winnett from the Telegraph is joining the Washington Post to lead core political coverage.
