Washington Post Publisher Will Lewis Departs Days After Steep Layoffs -- WSJ

Dow Jones

02/08

By Melissa Korn

The Washington Post's publisher, Will Lewis, is leaving his role days after the company announced it was laying off one-third of its staff.

The publication named finance chief Jeff D'Onofrio, who joined in June, as its new acting publisher and CEO, effective immediately.

Lewis is departing after two tumultuous years atop the organization. He arrived vowing to carry out a digital transformation, stem financial losses and reverse a decline in online readership.

Lewis, who was previously CEO of Wall Street Journal parent Dow Jones, laid out a plan to build a "third newsroom" at the Post for social media and service journalism, apart from its core news operation and its opinion section. But the publication struggled to find its footing and has since revised that plan.

Lewis didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday night.

Many publications large and small are grappling with shifting reader habits, a decline in traffic from tech giants and generative AI tools that are changing the way people search for and consume information online.
