WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Post has named veteran media executive Will Lewis to serve as its new CEO and publisher. In July, The New York Times reported that The Post is on track to lose about $100 million this year. Lewis is currently the founder, CEO and publisher of The News Movement, a social-first media business targeting a Gen Z audience. “The Washington Post is a premier global media publisher of record, known for its 145-year-old history of unflinching journalism, and I am thrilled and humbled to be at its helm as both a media executive and former reporter,” Lewis said in a statement. Stonesifer was formerly chief executive of the Gates Foundation and a member of the Amazon board.
