The Washington Post’s team of White House reporters sent a letter to Jeff Bezos on Tuesday pleading with the paper’s billionaire owner to stave off steep layoffs expected to hit many of the paper’s reporting desks, including sports, metro and coverage of the arts.
“We are clear-eyed about the financial challenges facing the paper,” the team of reporters wrote, according to a copy of the letter obtained by TheWrap.
“When we accepted our assignments to cover the White House last year, we took the job with a goal to win back former subscribers and draw in new readers.
A diversified Washington Post helps us do it.”The Post did not respond to an immediate request for comment.
The letter was shared in the Post’s union Slack by White House bureau chief Matt Viser, who told his colleagues the team sent the letter to Bezos on Tuesday.
