Robert Winnett will not join The Washington Post as its top editor and will remain at The Daily Telegraph following a backlash from the Post's staff and revelations about his journalistic practices. Winnett's decision comes amid significant turmoil at the Washington Post, including the resignation of executive editor Sally Buzbee. Ethical concerns were raised about Winnett's past work with a private investigator who used illegal means to obtain information. Post publisher Will Lewis, who had previously worked with Winnett, announced that the newspaper will immediately start a new search for an editor. Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post, assured staff that the paper's journalistic standards would remain unchanged. Matt Murray will continue as the interim executive editor until a new editor is appointed after the November presidential election.
