Jeff Bezos has named Jeff D’Onofrio as the permanent chief executive and publisher of the Washington Post, rewarding the data‑focused executive who has led the paper since an interim takeover in February. D’Onofrio, formerly the Post’s CFO, earned Bezos’s confidence for his disciplined, detail‑oriented approach after veteran journalist Will Lewis was ousted amid turmoil, including a Super Bowl incident and criticism over job cuts that trimmed roughly 300 journalists from the newsroom. The Post, which has struggled with subscriber losses after thriving during Donald Trump’s first presidency, aims to break even this year and pursue profitability to reinvest in journalism.

D’Onofrio, who previously led digital ad group Raptive and Tumblr, outlined plans to build new revenue streams and modernize the media company. Recent leadership shuffles also include opinion editor Adam O’Neal’s resignation, leaving the section’s future uncertain. The appointment signals a continued shake‑up at the newspaper under Bezos’s ownership.
