The Washington Post has recently announced that they will be shutting down their sports department and letting go of their Middle East correspondents and editors.
These cuts are also affecting international editing and metro editing jobs. In total, the Post cut around one third of their jobs.
Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post, is going through with these cuts due to financial restraints.
Bezos bought the company from the Graham family who owned the Post since 1933.
The departure of the sports section will impact everyone, including former owner Don Graham, who said “I will have to learn a new way to read the paper, since I have started with the sports page since the late 1940s,”
