Fred Ryan, the Washington Post publisher and chief executive officer, is stepping down, according to a statement by the newspaper. Patty Stonesifer, the founding CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has been appointed interim CEO, said the statement. Stonesifer will search for a new publisher and CEO as a part of her new role. - The Post seeks to regain subscribers, which have diminished since the Trump administration left office. The newsroom had been good about breaking stories about the former President.
- Since then, the numbers have dwindled, and the company lost money last year. It laid off 20 employees in January.
- Ryan has been the publisher for nine years and will remain in that role until August. He will then become the head of the newly formed, nonpartisan Center on Public Civility at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation.
