The former owner of the Washington Post is hitting back at billionaire Jeff Bezos for widespread cuts he made to the storied newspaper.
Don Graham, the son of legendary Watergate-era publisher Katherine Graham, blasted the cuts announced Wednesday, which axed the sports and book review sections and slashed local and international coverage. Overall, the Post is eliminating roughly a third of its staff.
“It’s a bad day,” Graham, whose family helmed the paper for eight decades, wrote on Facebook. “I am sad that so many excellent reporters and editors—and old friends—are losing their jobs. My first concern is for them; I will do anything I can to help.
