Billionaire Jeff Bezos reportedly hit his breaking point with his chief executive at The Washington Post after he was seen strutting down a red carpet the day after a bloodbath that eliminated nearly a third of the newsroom.
Will Lewis, the embattled CEO and publisher of the Post, announced Saturday that he was leaving the newsroom just two years after owner Bezos appointed him to revitalize the institution.
His hasty departure followed a viral video of a red-cheeked Lewis walking the red carpet at the NFL Honors ceremony in San Francisco on Thursday evening, one day after The Washington Post announced layoffs that cut roughly 300 journalists and gutted its sports department.
