The Washington Post Is Hiring 'Dozens of Journalists' in 2017

According to what Ryan told Politico’s Ken Doctor, the new hires for 2017 will include “dozens of journalists.” While declining to provide a specific number, he did tell Doctor that there will be more than 60, which will bring the newsroom up to at least 750 staff members.
