In 2023 & 2025, it offered buyouts that shrank the news staff by >200 #journalists. And in February, The #WashingtonPost laid off in excess of 300 journalists, hollowing out its sports, local & international teams.
In February 2025, #JeffBezos issued a directive to focus the #opinion section on “two pillars: personal liberties & free markets.” He wrote that the section would “cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.”

government #regulation.
