The top editor at The Washington Post, Sally Buzbee, has stepped down after three years at the helm of one of the most storied publications in the United States. Robert Winnett, deputy editor of the United Kingdom-based Telegraph Media Group, will take over as executive editor after the election, the newspaper said. Last month, Lewis told a company town hall meeting that the newspaper was bleeding subscribers and had lost $77m last year. “To speak candidly, we are in a hole, and have been for some time,” Lewis told employees, according to the Post. Buzbee, the first female executive editor in the Post’s 144-year history, took over from Marty Baron in 2021 after more than three decades at The Associated Press.
