Washington Post staffers fume at owner Jeff Bezos as UK Telegraph's Robert Winnett declines top editor role
2024-06-22
[NYPOST] Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos faces growing unrest from the newspaper’s staffers — and the latest casualty is a British editor who had been slated to become their next boss.

Robert Winnett, the deputy editor of the UK broadsheet Telegraph, will not be taking the helm of the Washington Post, the paper said on Friday. That’s after former Washington Post editor Sally Buzbee abruptly was defenestrated stepped down earlier this month after just three years at the paper.

Washington Post Chief Executive William Lewis confirmed the change in a note to staff, adding that the paper will launch a formal search for a new editor.

"It is with regret that I share with you that Robert Winnett has withdrawn from the position of Editor at The Washington Post," Lewis wrote. "Rob has my greatest respect and is an incredibly talented editor and journalist."

report on Friday indicated that Washington Post staffers are growing impatient with Bezos’s hands-off leadership style — particularly amid the uproar over his decision to entrust the paper to Lewis.
They oughtta pick a new owner, by gum.
Bezos on Tuesday sent a terse, 138-word memo to top editors at The Washington Post in which he expressed his "full commitment on maintaining the quality, ethics and standards we all believe in."
