Layoffs Hit The Washington Post
Good morning from the Hive newsroom. The Washington Post laid off 20 staffers Tuesday and opted not to fill 30 positions, as the legacy newspaper’s leadership chose the same path as the many media outlets cutting journalists’ jobs in recent months, Charlotte Klein reported.
