Last spring, the Washington Post’s video department had around 60 people. After last year’s buyouts, that dropped to about 20 people. And now, with yesterday’s layoffs, it stands at just 5 people, even as the Post talks about the importance of reaching people on new platforms.

Denali means 'the great one,' and those living in its snow-shrouded midst scorn making it a political pawn, as Trump did in renaming the peak for a president who never set foot in Alaska. A great read, look and listen from @karinbrulliard @wleaming wapo.st/413ZuFI

Spoke w/ Iowans this week, and regardless of their primary pick, every GOP voter said they’d vote for Trump in the general if he were the nominee.
Yes— even if he were to be convicted in any of these indictments. “Then he’d run the office from prison”

One year of war. I haven't seen anything that captures the painful family divisions that followed as powerfully as this split-screen project: a father on the front, his wife and daughter in Germany. by @ikhurshudyan @wleaming @chicoharlan @whitneyshefte washingtonpost.com/world/int…

Journalists: don't. stop. talking. about. Syria. The silence around my country is deafening, it has been for the last few years. People were living in the most dire of circumstances even before the earthquake.

Glad to read this @clarissaward & that things are improving - 20 years ago when I was reporting as a mum I was described as an ‘ego-driven maniac’ by a fellow female war correspondent (who went on to have a child herself) - I was devastated
