The Washington Post has tapped Will Lewis as its next publisher and CEO, as the media outlet grapples with a revenue decline that has forced it to reduce its staff. Lewis, who served as the CEO of Dow Jones and publisher of The Wall Street Journal from 2014 to 2020, will start in his role on Jan. 2. He will succeed Patty Stonesifer, who has served as interim CEO in June after Fred Ryan announced his exit. Lewis most recently has been founder, CEO and publisher of The News Movement, which is aimed at providing non partisan news to Gen Z. Stonesifer recently announced plans to offer staff buyouts as part of a plan to reduce staff by 240.
