Matt Murray, ex Editor in Chief of the Wall Street Journal, will replace her until the November 2024 presidential election, and will then be followed by Robert Winnett of the Telegraph Media Group, who will become the newspaper's editor, the Washington Post said in a post on its website.
Sally Buzbee has stepped down after three years as executive editor of The Washington Post, one of journalism's most storied brands. No reason was given for her departure. The paper recently hired a new publisher, Will Lewis, who has said the newspaper must take steps to correct a dramatic drop in digital subscriptions over the past few years. Lewis said Matt Murray, former editor in chief of The Wall Street Journal, will run the Post's newsroom through the election this fall. After that, Robert Winnett, who is currently deputy editor of the Telegraph Media Group, will take over as the newspaper's editor.
