The Washington Post is reportedly planning deep staff cuts, possibly more than 10 percent of the newsroom, but nobody really knows at the moment. Guess Mr. Bezos needs more money for his oh-so-profitable space ventures.
"A growing number of journalists and supporters of the Washington Post are imploring Jeff Bezos, the outlet’s billionaire owner, to stop massive layoffs that are expected to hit the news organization next month."
"The Post, according to multiple reports, is planning to dramatically reduce the size of its staff in the coming weeks and is reportedly considering making the steepest cutbacks to its foreign desk and sports department."
