From Daily Mail: A devastated Washington Post journalist slammed the paper for laying her off while she risked her life reporting from a war zone in Ukraine.
Correspondent Lizzie Johnson spoke out after the Post announced mass layoffs to staff during an internal Zoom call on Wednesday morning.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos purchased the Post in 2013 for $250million, but the outlet has struggled in recent years with declining subscriptions and web traffic amid a push for profitability.
The cuts could see more than 300 journalists lose their jobs across the company, The New York Times reported.
“I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone,” Johnson wrote on X. “I have no words. I’m devastated.”
