The Washington Post is preparing to make some staffing cuts in the new year.
Video taken at a recent town hall employee meeting at The Washington Post reveals the liberal outlet’s plan to lay off a percentage of its staff in the new year; publisher Fred Ryan delivered the news.
From The Hill:
Video taken from the in-person town hall at the newspaper’s downtown Washington, D.C., headquarters and posted to social media shows frustrated employees peppering Ryan with questions about how the newsroom will be affected and demanding a justification for the cuts.
“We’ll have more information as we move forward,” Ryan is seen saying before thanking the employees in attendance as he walks away.
Kathy Baird, chief communications officer at the Post, told The Hill on Wednesday afternoon the company anticipates the coming job cuts “will be a single-digit percentage of our employee base, and we will finalize those plans over the coming weeks.”
