“We are losing large amounts of money. People are not reading your stuff. I can’t sugarcoat it anymore.”

So said Will Lewis, the publisher of The Washington Post, in a widely reported exchange with angry staffers upset about major restructuring at the 147-year-old publication.

He’s 100% accurate. The Post is losing large amounts of money — to the tune of $77 million in 2023 alone. 

And, yes, people are largely not reading its stuff anymore.

In fact, since Joe Biden took office in 2021, more than 500,000 Washington Post readers have canceled their subscriptions — and sugarcoating that dire situation won’t help any of its employees. 

More than half-a-million . . . gone.
