Robert Winnett Will No Longer Lead Washington Post As Top Editor

British journalist Robert Winnett will no longer be the editor of The Washington Post following ethical questions about his past work, it was reported Friday.

The decision was announced by Washington Post publisher Will Lewis to staff in a memo Friday morning, according to CNN and The New York Times.

“It is with regret that I share with you that Robert Winnett has withdrawn from the position of Editor at The Washington Post. Rob has my greatest respect and is an incredibly talented editor and journalist,” the memo read.

Lewis, who became publisher and CEO of the Post in January following his appointment by Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, added that Winnett will continue to serve as deputy editor of the Daily Telegraph in London.
