Also: By my estimate, there are now only two reporters of color in the entire Features department at the Post after layoffs.

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."
I was laid off today from The Washington Post. It was an honor to work for almost a decade alongside such thoughtful, talented colleagues. If you’re hiring for arts coverage…hit me up!

Layoffs are not a business strategy.
We have the proof, @JeffBezos. 🧵

This morning, @wamu885 management informed us they are laying off 15 vital people from our organization. These individuals are the lifeblood of our journalism. Our hearts are broken. We can’t believe we are losing our colleagues and friends.

🚨 The Washington Post Guild has reached a tentative agreement with The Washington Post after 18 months of contract negotiations.
This deal is the best contract Washington Post employees have seen in 50 years.
ALT A graphic reads: WE HAVE A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT in large red letters. The word "finally" and exclamation points are scribbled in the margins.
Sonia Rao retweeted
Workers @washingtonpost have been in contract negotiations with our bosses for 18 months.
But the company is refusing to pay us what we’re worth or bargain in good faith.
So on Dec. 7, we’re walking off the job for 24 hours.

Can Dionne Warwick get an amen? Always.
As she joins this weekend’s Kennedy Center honorees, the pop legend still has confidence to spare as the internet’s favorite auntie. wapo.st/49Q3f5n

The full effects of the AR-15's catastrophic force in mass killings are rarely seen in public.
To assess the extent of the destruction, The Post examined thousands of photos and videos and identified parallels across 11 mass shootings between 2012 and 2023. The graphic pictures and personal accounts in this story may be disturbing. wapo.st/3G45LHk
ALT TERROR ON REPEAT: A rare look at the devastation caused by AR-15 shootings. Editor’s note: The photos and personal accounts in this post are extremely disturbing and may be too upsetting for some people.
Sonia Rao retweeted
The @washingtonpost took the extraordinary step to publish never before seen images from mass shootings. They are disturbing but, together with deeply personal accounts, offer the public a real look at what an AR-15 does. washingtonpost.com/nation/in…

Big news for at-home cooks: the @washingtonpost has relaunched its recipe finder. Super easy to use, and I always tell people that Washington Post recipes NEVER steer me wrong. I've literally never had a negative experience using one of them! washingtonpost.com/recipes/
