Washington Post’s opinion editor resigns after just one year in role
- The Washington Post had realized a state of relative calm in the five months since the paper was turned upside down in February, when nearly half the newsroom was laid off and its unpopular publisher, Will Lewis, abruptly resigned.
- But on Friday, staffers were shocked to find out that Adam O’Neal, a millennial hired last year to lead its opinion section, was already leaving.
- In a memo to colleagues in the paper’s opinion section titled “A Remarkable Year”, O’Neal gave no reason for his departure, only saying that he had decided to leave and that 31 August would be his last day.
