00:00The Washington Post began sweeping layoffs Wednesday that will sharply shrink its newsroom,
00:04cutting staff across nearly all departments, including global, metro, editing, and sports.
00:11Executive editor Matt Murray said the changes reflect the need to move beyond a legacy newspaper structure
00:16as the company grapples with mounting financial losses.
00:19The cuts follow recent pullbacks in coverage and come amid growing tension between journalists
00:24and owner Jeff Bezos over the paper's direction.
00:28Media leaders warn the layoffs represent a serious blow, not only to The Post, but to the broader future of journalism.
