More than 75,000 subscribers have canceled their digital subscriptions to The Washington Post since Jeff Bezos announced a major restructuring of the paper's opinion pages. Critics, including former executive editor Marty Baron, have described this shift as 'craven,' suggesting Bezos is motivated by fear of Trump rather than by journalistic integrity. This is part of a larger trend; over 300,000 subscribers have left the Post since late October, as the paper struggles to maintain reader trust amidst significant changes to its editorial direction.
The rapid cancellations reflect significant reader outrage over editorial decisions, signaling deeper issues with how The Washington Post is aligning its opinion pages under Bezos’ influence.
Marty Baron criticized Bezos’ plans as "craven," suggesting that such changes arise from a place of fear rather than commitment to journalistic integrity.
