The Washington Post is laying off one-third of its staff in the newsroom and other departments, a brutal blow to one of journalism’s legendary brands.

The troubled Post began implementing large-scale cutbacks on Wednesday, including eliminating its sports department and shrinking the number of journalists it stations overseas. The changes were announced by executive editor Matt Murray in a Zoom meeting with staff.

The staff reduction is a significant psychic blow at the Post, known in history books for its Watergate revelations and most recently for aggressive coverage of U.S. President Donald Trump’s cutbacks to the federal workforce, and for journalism in general
