Washington Post opinion editor and columnist Ruth Marcus resigned from the newspaper Monday after Chief Executive Officer Will Lewis killed a column she wrote that criticized recent changes made by Post owner Jeff Bezos.
Other top journalists have left following major changes at the paper, including Bezos’ decision to limit what he described as viewpoints opposing “personal liberties and free markets” in the Post’s opinion section.
