Will Lewis, the CEO and publisher of The Washington Post, announced his departure on Saturday afternoon, just days after sweeping layoffs hit the legacy publication.
Jeff D'Onofrio, who joined the Post in June 2025 as Chief Financial Officer, will serve as the interim CEO and publisher, effective February 7.
"This is a challenging time across all media organizations, and The Post is unfortunately no exception," D'Onofrio said in an email to staffers that was viewed by Business Insider. "I've had the privilege of helping chart the course of disrupters and cultural stalwarts alike. All faced economic headwinds in changing industry landscapes, and we rose to meet those moments. I have no doubt we will do just that, together."
