The fall of one of the world’s most powerful newspapers
from The Daily Aus · host The Daily Aus
Yesterday, the Washington Post announced it would cut a third of its workforce in one of the most significant restructures in the newspaper's nearly 150 year history. The cuts eliminate entire departments, including sports and books coverage, and drastically reduce international reporting. Today, we're unpacking what happened, why one of America's most storied newspapers is in this position, and what it means for journalism.
