Matt Viser, the Post's White House bureau chief, shared a screenshot of the email that newsroom staffed received in a Saturday, Feb. 7 X post.
"All - After two years of transformation at The Washinton Post, now is the right time for me to step aside," Lewis said. "I want to thank Jeff Bezos for his support and leadership throughout my tenure as CEO and Publisher. The institution could not have a better owner."
The announcement comes days after sweeping layoffs hit the Washington, D.C. based newsroom, causing hundreds of job cuts and the shuttering of multiple desks.
Jeff D'Onofrio, chief financial officer of the newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos, will serve as acting publisher and CEO, the Post said, according to Reuters.
