Washington Post Editor Sally Buzbee Resigns

Sally Buzbee, the executive editor of The Washington Post, has resigned after three years in the role. She will be succeeded by Matt Murray, former editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal, and Robert Winnett, deputy editor of the Telegraph Media Group, will take over as editor following the 2024 presidential election. The Post has not provided a specific reason for Buzbee's departure.

In conjunction with the leadership change, The Washington Post announced the creation of a new division within its newsroom. This division aims to cater to audiences interested in paying for and consuming news through different formats, including video storytelling and social media journalism. This restructuring comes at a challenging financial time for the publication, which reported a loss of $77 million last year despite winning three Pulitzer Prizes. The Post hopes that these changes will help reverse its recent decline in subscribers.
