Washington Post closes last three offices.
In a cost cutting move, the Washington Post is closing its remaining three US news bureaus outside of the Washington, D.C. area and will cover national news from its base in Washington. The six reporters who work in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago will be offered a relocation to Washington, while three news assistants will lose their jobs.
The Washington Post, which has a daily circulation of 673,180 and 890,163 on Sunday, has axed more than 200 jobs through buyout offers earlier this year and after several rounds of earlier buyouts. The Washington Post had already closed the Austin, Denver and Miami national bureaus in recent years and as like nearly every other newspaper in the US, has been battered by falling advertising revenue and circulation as readers get more news online for free.
