Summary
Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus resigned after CEO William Lewis allegedly spiked her column criticizing owner Jeff Bezos’ new editorial directive.
Bezos instructed the opinion section to promote “personal liberties and free markets,” prompting concerns over editorial independence.
Marcus called the change a breach of reader trust, saying columnists are no longer free to express dissenting views.
Her resignation follows that of opinion editor David Shipley. The shift is seen as an effort to align with Donald Trump, after Bezos attended his inauguration.
