In May 2024, CEO and publisher William Lewis announced that the organization would embrace [[artificial intelligence]] to improve the paper's financial situation, telling staff it would seek "AI everywhere in our newsroom".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-05-22 |title=The Washington Post Tells Staff It's Pivoting to AI |url=https://futurism.com/washington-post-pivot-ai |access-date=2024-05-23 |website=Futurism}}</ref>

In June 2024, [[Axios (website)|Axios]] reported the ''Post ''faced significant internal turmoil and financial challenges. The new CEO, Lewis, has already generated controversy with his leadership style and proposed restructuring plans. The abrupt departure of executive editor Buzbee and the appointment of two white men to top editorial positions have sparked internal discontent, particularly given the lack of consideration for the Post's senior female editors, as well as allegations that in March 2024 Lewis put pressure on Buzbee to bury a story about his involvement in a British phone-hacking scandal. Additionally, Lewis' proposed division for [[social media]] and [[service journalism]] has met with resistance from staff. Recent reports alleging Lewis' attempts to influence editorial decisions, including pressuring Buzbee to drop a story about his past ties to a [[phone hacking]] scandal, and offering [[NPR]]'s media correspondent an exclusive interview about the ''Post''’s future in exchange for not publishing similar allegations, have further shaken the newsroom's morale.<ref>{{Cite news |title='Washington Post' CEO tried to kill a story about himself.

====Suppression of views Bezos disfavors====
In January 2025, editorial cartoonist [[Ann Telnaes]] resigned from ''The Washington Post'' and published a blog post titled "Why I'm quitting the Washington Post".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Telnaes |first=Ann |date=2025-01-03 |title=Why I'm quitting the Washington Post |url=https://anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-quitting-the-washington-post |access-date=2025-01-03 |website=Substack}}</ref> In it, Telnaes criticizes the paper for allegedly refusing to run a cartoon critical of the relationship between American billionaires and President [[Donald Trump]].
