Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos stays silent as employees brace for cuts

Washington Post employees are bracing for impending cuts, with concerns focused on potential reductions to foreign and local news coverage. Despite these concerns, owner Jeff Bezos has remained silent and unresponsive to multiple letters from staff urging him to protect the publication's robust coverage. Employees have also launched a social media campaign to raise awareness. The letters were sent beginning January 25th, with additional letters sent in the following days. The mood at the Post is described as "funereal," as staff anticipate the cuts may be announced soon. A rally protesting the cuts is scheduled outside the Post's headquarters on Thursday.
