Sir William John Lewis

William Lewis, a veteran media executive and former business journalist, was appointed as the CEO and publisher of The Washington Post in November 2023. Prior to this role, he served as the publisher of The Wall Street Journal and CEO of Dow Jones, bringing a wealth of experience in leading prominent news organisations.

Born in 1969, Lewis began his career in British media, notably serving as editor-in-chief of London’s Daily Telegraph. His leadership at The Washington Post has been marked by significant decisions, including a return to the paper’s tradition of non-endorsement in political elections, a move that sparked discussions about journalistic objectivity.

Despite facing challenges, including internal controversies and financial pressures, Lewis’s tenure reflects a commitment to navigating the evolving media landscape. His efforts aim to uphold the legacy of The Washington Post while adapting to contemporary journalistic demands.

The WashingtonPost

The  Washington Post stands as one of the most influential and respected newspapers in the world, embodying a legacy of journalistic excellence, integrity, and fearless pursuit of truth. Founded in 1877 by Stilson Hutchins, the Post began as a modest four-page daily publication in Washington, D.C. Over the decades, it transformed into a powerhouse of investigative reporting, shaping the course of history by holding power to account. Its commitment to rigorous journalism reached iconic heights during the Watergate scandal of the 1970s, when reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncovered corruption that led to the resignation of a U.S. president. This pivotal moment solidified the Post’s reputation as a champion of democracy and a beacon of truth.

Through its storied history, the Washington Post has consistently adapted to the evolving media landscape. Acquired by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in 2013, the publication entered a new era of innovation and global reach. With investments in digital transformation, the Post expanded its readership worldwide, bringing its unparalleled reporting to millions across platforms. The publication has continued to tackle complex global issues with clarity and conviction, addressing topics ranging from climate change and social justice to political accountability.

At its core, the Washington Post represents more than just a newspaper; it is a defender of free expression and an unwavering advocate for public interest. Guided by its mission to provide fact-based reporting, it inspires trust, fosters informed debate, and serves as a vital cornerstone of democracy. In an age of misinformation, the Post’s dedication to truth and journalistic courage continues to inspire and empower readers globally.
