By Brian Stelter, CNN(CNN) — With widespread layoffs expected at The Washington Post in the coming weeks, teams of reporters are sending impassioned letters to owner Jeff Bezos, urging him not to shrink the newsroom.
In a letter obtained by CNN, the newspaper’s White House reporters banded together to defend some of the desks facing major cutbacks.
The new letter from the White House reporters is a bit different because there is no indication that their jobs are at risk.
“But some of our most impactful, most-read articles… have relied on collaboration with all corners of the newsroom,” the White House reporters told Bezos.
“There’s now a strong sense that neither Jeff Bezos nor Will Lewis are serious, good-faith stewards of The Washington Post,” one veteran correspondent said.
