When Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post more than a decade
ago, journalists inside and outside the newsroom were cautiously
optimistic. But those hopes were dashed on Wednesday, when the
paper carried out widespread layoffs.

Erik Wemple, who covered the developments, discusses what went
wrong and what comes next.

Guest: Erik Wemple, who reports on the media
business for The New York Times.

Background reading:

The Washington Post lays off more than 300 journalists.

As part of the layoffs, The Post eliminated its sports
section, one of the last bastions of great sportswriting.
