Buzbee was said to disagree with the plan and chose to leave rather than be put in charge of one of the divisions, the Post reported. Lewis was not made available for an interview Monday, and Buzbee did not immediately return a message. “It definitely kind of blindsided people,” said Paul Farhi, a recently retired media reporter at the Post. Lewis was also questioned about his commitment to diversity after the first woman to be the editor in charge of the Post has left. As editor, Buzbee has been beefing up the Post's coverage on topics like cooking and climate that appeal to particular readers.
