Working for WaPo’s Middle East team was an honour. But I made the heartwrenching decision to leave the paper last month.

I’m still in Lebanon and open for new opportunities. If your newsroom is looking for narrative-driven accountability reporting (or other things!) do reach out

@MikeMillerDC @OCCRP Congrats Mike! What a great gig, and looking forward to reading your work there

Full circle: The Washington Post's obituary for Khamenei was written by Bill Branigin, who joined WaPo to cover the 1979 Iranian revolution which would bring to power the theocracy that dominated Iran for almost half a century. (1/3)

One large study found that when a major daily newspaper covering a federal judicial district disappears, corruption cases there—bribery, embezzlement, fraud—rise by more than 7%.
The researchers suggest officials feel emboldened when no one's looking.

I was gutted but also proud when Alex left the then-Insider news team to help The Washington Post staff up in London. She is a great editor.

I am so sorry to our readers who looked to us for our international coverage. I am grateful to all the extremely brave, courageous people who spoke to me for my reporting in Russia and Ukraine. I am heartbroken to be losing such an incredible journalist family.

Among hundreds laid off from The Washington Post yesterday were dozens of international employees not eligible for protection under the Guild and being axed under less favorable terms, w/ massive logistical challenges ahead.

Please help support them:

A short note to confirm The Washington Post closed its Seoul hub today. Have loved every moment of working with the team here and at the mothership. The cuts have been deep across the board and I will miss the many talented people I have learned from — you are all magnificent.

My colleague Marty Weil is one of The Post’s last living ties to Watergate. He’s covered stories that range from local crime to the Sept. 11 attacks to whimsical weather musings.

After 60 years, he was laid off yesterday by email. https://t.co/NZaorQXUcD

@siobhan_ogrady You’re a brilliant journalist and colleague, even on the most chaotic of days. I can’t believe it.

[Shibani Mahtani @ShibaniMahtani]

We were led by the best of the best.

[Alexandra Ma @AlexandraMa15]

My role at The Post — alongside those of hundreds of colleagues across the newsroom — has been eliminated. What an honour it has been to have worked with such talented, hardworking, kind colleagues. I’m so proud of what we achieved.

[Ashley Parker @AshleyRParker]

I arrived at The Post during a personal and professional nadir. But they welcomed me into their merry band of misfits, and believed in me — so I started believing in myself, too.

My ode to what makes The Post so special. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹https://t.co/ySCoGDtxOU
