Will Lewis, the chief executive of The Washington Post, has set about remaking the top ranks of the newspaper since his appointment to the job last year. In April, The Post announced the addition of Suzi Watford, a former top executive at Dow Jones, the publisher of The Wall Street Journal, as its chief strategy editor. In January, The Post named Karl Wells as its chief growth officer, a position responsible for subscription strategy, partnerships, licensing and data analytics.

At a town hall last month, Mr. Lewis updated employees on his strategy for reviving the business and revealed the extent of The Post’s financial woes, including that it lost more than $70 million in 2023 and suffered a substantial decline in audience.

Mr. Murray, 58, led The Journal for four years, a job he was appointed to by Mr. Lewis, who was then the chief executive of Dow Jones and publisher of The Journal. Mr. Murray was replaced in 2023 by the British editor Emma Tucker. He has since served as a consultant to News Corp, which owns The Journal, and has worked as a contributing editor to News Items, an email newsletter publication.

Ms. Buzbee joined The Post in June 2021 after serving as executive editor of The Associated Press, where she spent her whole career. She took over The Post from Marty Baron, a legendary newspaper editor who had run The Post for eight years and oversaw its transition to ownership by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder, who bought the paper for $250 million in 2013.

The Post greatly expanded its editing ranks under Ms. Buzbee, announcing the addition of roughly 41 positions in 2021, and revamping its vaunted Styles section. The paper also shut down its Sunday magazine, a move that upset many of the newspaper’s feature writers. It has received six Pulitzer Prize awards since she joined, three of them this year.
