Posted: 3/4/2013 | By: Greg Gilman | The Wrap
The Washington Post has confirmed its own ombudsman's hunch and announced on Friday that it has cut the 43-year-old position.
"We have been privileged to have had the service of many talented ombudsmen (and women) who have addressed readers’ concerns, answered their questions and held The Post to the highest standards of journalism," publisher Katharine Weymouth wrote in a message Friday to Post readers.
