Washington Post Names Former Dow Jones Chief William Lewis as CEOthedigitalchaps

The Washington Post named former Dow Jones Chief Executive William Lewis as its CEO and publisher, ending a monthslong search for a leader tasked with improving the D.C. news outlet’s flagging business.   

Lewis, set to assume the role effective Jan. 2, 2024, will lead a publication facing a retreat in subscriptions after an effort to expand its appeal beyond core political coverage failed to yield desired results. “I am thrilled and humbled to be at its helm,” Lewis said Saturday.
