The Washington Post

Former U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown says Washington Post CEO Will Lewis told police a "clearly fabricated" account in 2011 to justify destroying emails amid a scandal. Lewis denies wrongdoing.

British police are investigating whether Washington Post CEO Will Lewis obstructed justice when he worked for media mogul Rupert Murdoch 13 years ago.

Washington Post CEO Will Lewis was accused in a London courtroom Monday of deceiving police who were investigating Rupert Murdoch's British tabloids when they were embroiled in a major scandal.

The new CEO of The Washington Post and his hand-picked news chief come from a tradition of rough-and-tumble British journalism that plays loose with ethics, compared to U.S. media.

The Post's new CEO Will Lewis tried to stop the paper from publishing a story about allegations he faces in Britain. It wasn't the first time he's attempted to head off unwanted coverage. I know, because he tried to do that to me in December.

The Post's new CEO has ousted Executive Editor Sally Buzbee, replacing her with a former colleague of his at The Wall Street Journal. Post journalists worry about the choice, and the paper's future.

Lawyers for Prince Harry and Hugh Grant have alleged in court that The Washington Post's next CEO helped the Murdochs clean up after illegal phone-hacking incidents at their British tabloids.

Workers are on a 24-hour strike to pressure owner Jeff Bezos and company leaders to negotiate a new labor contract. The Post says it needs to cut jobs and may resort to layoffs.

Baron became executive editor of The Washington Post in 2013, just a few months before Jeff Bezos bought the paper. He predicts a second Trump presidency would be a "government of vengeance."

The Washington Post plans to cut 240 jobs, or 10% of its workforce, through voluntary buyouts. Leaders said they had been "overly optimistic" about growth.
