Washington Post CEO Will Lewis resigned Saturday after a turbulent two-year tenure marked by controversy and deep newsroom cuts. His departure follows massive layoffs that eliminated over a third of the staff, including entire teams, as the paper faced major financial losses. Lewis, who faced scrutiny over his past in British media, was largely absent during the layoff announcements. Owner Jeff Bezos, in a statement, affirmed the Post’s journalistic mission. CFO Jeff D’Onofrio will serve as acting CEO.
