Everyone is gone at the Washington Post... Almost no Metro section left...

[Anonymous]

I remember when the Metro section of the Post was so robust, you went there first! When Jeff Bezos bought the paper everyone was so excited because he made major investments. My friends at the Post were thrilled too.

It seems those days are over. 240 reporters left in 2023 with most coming from the Metro desk including Darryl Fears, Paula Dvorak and Courtland Malloy.

That was really the only reason I subscribed. Now, I can cancel my $18 per month and just read it through Apple News. It's not worth it to me anymore.

I was already getting more through DC City Cast, Washington City Paper and DCist. I'll give to those publications.

Thanks Jeff Bezos.

Which will actually make the situation even worse, unfortunately.

I read Wtop and dcist for local news. I agree it’s not great but it’s better than in most areas. My friend is involved in a piece of litigation that will significant afffect my hometown and when I asked my family, they hadn’t even heard about it. I finally found a mention in the local paper but it was pretty delayed.

This. It used to be a respected paper. Now it’s just regurgitated woke punch lines.

100%. It needs to die. It used to be worth it but it's a far cry from that now.
