Will Lewis has resigned as chief executive and publisher of The Washington Post just days after the newspaper enacted sweeping layoffs that eliminated nearly a third of its newsroom, including entire reporting teams and all staff photographers. Lewis's two-year tenure was marked by sharp criticism from staff and readers over his handling of financial losses and controversial editorial decisions, including a shift away from the paper's traditionally liberal editorial stance. The cuts and management turmoil have led to protests outside the paper's headquarters, a loss of hundreds of thousands of digital subscribers, and public rebukes from prominent journalists such as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Jeff D'Onofrio, formerly of Tumblr, will take over leadership as the paper faces ongoing challenges in a struggling industry, despite being owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos.
