NEWS HIGHLIGHT
Big News gets new CEO.
TSJ isn’t the only news source out there, guys. Big News(letter) exists and its about time we addressed it. The Washington Post recently welcomed news industry veteran William Lewis as its savior, or rather, CEO and publisher. It seems the Post's recent financial woes and dwindling readership have prompted this change of leadership.
Purchased by Jeff Bezos for a cool $250 million back in 2013, the Post enjoyed a moment in the sun, boasting a whopping 3 million digital subscribers in 2020, but has since experienced a 28% drop in its digital audience and a subscriber base that has now slimmed down to 2.5 million.
Enter Bezos, who, after a hands-off approach for years, suddenly remembered he owned the paper and decided to intervene. In a heartfelt letter to the Post's journalists, he pledged his undying commitment to the paper's future—of course, while underlining the importance of turning a profit.
William Lewis, the man of the hour, has a resume that reads like a who's who of the news industry. Lewis aims to work his magic and make the Washington Post great again. His plan? To capitalize on the upcoming presidential election, featuring none other than Trump, and ensure Bezos doesn't regret his impulse buy.
Oh, the drama! Stay tuned to TSJ see if this tale of journalistic twists and turns can truly revive the Washington Post's fortunes.
