Washington Post publisher steps down

Will Lewis, publisher and CEO of The Washington Post, has stepped down from his leadership position at the publication.

His resignation comes days after the newspaper laid off a third of its staff.

“After two years of transformation at The Washington Post, now is the right time for me to step aside,” Lewis reportedly wrote to staff. “I want to thank Jeff Bezos for his support and leadership throughout my tenure as CEO and publisher. The institution could not have a better owner.”
