“I am thrilled to tell you that 2022 will bring significant new investment in our journalism with more than 70 positions being added to the newsroom, plus additional resources in areas such as marketing that will extend the impact of our reporting and support The Post’s growth,” states Washington Post Executive Editor Sally Buzbee in a staff memo.

Buzbee’s memo adds:

“Over the last six months, we have worked to expand and strengthen our news leadership team. We also announced the addition of 41 new editing positions across coverage areas. Both steps aimed at strengthening our newsroom infrastructure as a foundation to support the additional growth we will launch this year.
