Washington Post editorial page editor David Shipley is leaving the paper as its opinion section shifts its focus to supporting and defending the topics of personal liberties and free markets, owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has told staff in a memo.
The section will cover other topics too, but will not publish viewpoints that oppose those two pillars, Bezos wrote in the staff memo on Wednesday. Shipley declined Bezos’ offer to stay on, Bezos wrote.
The move – which reflects the Post’s narrowing of focus from a general-interest opinion section that reflected a wide swath of views – follows the paper’s decision in October to stop its decades-long practice of endorsing presidential candidates.
