The Washington Post is reportedly poised to make deep staffing cuts, marking the latest retrenchment by the Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper.

As many as 300 people could be let go, with the biggest cuts coming in sports and the foreign staff, former Post media reporter Paul Farhi said on X. Now a freelancer, he cited former colleagues saying the cuts will include non-newsroom personnel.
