The Washington Post is expected to execute more layoffs in the new year after suffering a massive loss of subscribers in 2022.
Publisher Fred Ryan announced the dismissals at a company town hall Wednesday. The layoffs will happen in the first quarter of 2023 and will make up a “single-digit percentage” of the current staff, Ryan said, without specifying the number of employees who would be terminated.
Washington Post national correspondent Annie Gowan reported that Ryan darted out of the room without taking questions from staff after he broke the bad news.
