The Washington Post Opinion section is undergoing significant changes following Jeff Bezos' directive to focus on personal liberties and free markets. This shift is a departure from the traditional broad-based opinion sections. David Shipley resigned as opinion editor in light of these changes. Adam O'Neal, the new opinion editor, aims to increase the section's reach and influence while maintaining that the changes are not partisan. The intention is to rebuild trust with American readers. O'Neal acknowledges that these changes will not be easy but views it as an opportunity.
"We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We'll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others."
"My top priority will be to significantly increase the reach and effect of our work. Advocating for free markets and personal liberties will be critical as we rebuild trust with more Americans."
