Let’s not pretend this has anything to do with free speech.

Jeff Bezos’ ‘Washington Post’ Gives Up Promoting Journalism and Fires PRs


The Washington Post laid off nearly its entire public relations department in its sweeping layoffs on Tuesday as it moves away from promoting the paper’s journalism.

The Post laid off six staffers from the company’s public relations department, leaving it with four managers. Kathleen Floyd, a senior publicist at the Post and co-chair of its union, said she and team were told the paper was “no longer promoting the journalism” and would focus “entirely on talent promotion” during a Zoom call on Tuesday morning.

“It’s almost unconscionable that the decision of our leadership would lead to an impact on us,” she said. “It’s not the day-to-day employees’ fault the we lost more than 250,000 subscribers.”

Kathy Baird, the Post‘s chief communications officer, confirmed in a memo to staffers the paper “will stop the dedicated practice of publicity for our journalism across broadcast and traditional media outlets” in service of a new “Star Talent Unit.”
