The ripple effect of Jeff Bezos’s decision to block The Washington Post — a newspaper based in the US capital — from endorsing a presidential candidate continues to reverberate through the newspaper, as a tidal wave of readers cancel their subscriptions and nearly one-third of the Post’s editorial board step down in protest.
“There’s just this huge amount of feeling that what we do has been set back by this sort of giant hit on our trust, and trust is what journalism is about,” the person said. Two Post journalists, Molly Roberts and David E Hoffman both announced Monday they had stepped down from their positions on the editorial board, although both will stay at the paper. A third journalist, Mili Mitra also stepped down, the Post reported, meaning nearly one-third of the 10-member board had resigned.
