The Post has also become increasingly guarded about staff leaking information. When leadership circulated a new draft of the social media policies, staff were required to use their Washington Post IDs to access the document, and could not download it. The new document also urged staff against revealing internal communications, including email and Slack messages.
Through Coratti Kelly, Buzbee declined to comment for this story, saying she had already committed to participating in a one-year retrospective on her tenure with another publication. In a statement, the paper’s union leadership credited Buzbee for taking issues like staff diversity seriously, but urged her to help improve the overall newsroom culture.
But others feel that the paper has lost some of the focus it gained under Baron, who helped steer the Post to new levels of journalism prominence through major investigations and a series of scoops under the presidency of Donald Trump, one of the leakiest and most unorthodox administrations in modern history.
