'Washington Post' Shuts Bureaus

Editor says move is about office space, not personnel

In a bid to save money, the Washington Post is shuttering six of eight local bureaus, although the paper says the move won't lead to a reduction in headcount.

In a memo to staff explaining the decision to let leases on the bureaus expire, executive editor Marcus Brauchli said the paper decided it could use its office space more efficiently. He said the Post would maintain its staffing levels in the suburbs and that in some cases it plans to take smaller offices in the same communities.
