The Washington Post says Robert Winnett, who had been named to take over core newsroom functions later this year, will not take the job.
The Washington Post said Friday that newly named editor Robert Winnett has decided not to take the job and will remain in Britain instead, another upheaval at the news outlet. The Post’s CEO and publisher, Will Lewis, announced Winnett’s decision to withdraw in a note to staff Friday and said a recruitment firm would be hired to launch a search for a replacement.
David Maraniss, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner who has worked at the newspaper for four decades, said this week that he didn't know anyone there who thought the situation with the publisher and “supposed new editor” could stand. “The body is rejecting the transfusion,” Maraniss wrote on Facebook.
