American journalists take top British jobs, prompt meltdown at The Washington Post.

Since the arrival of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, there has been a lot of talk about a British invasion.

The media, similar to Paul Revere, frequently alerts that the British are approaching, confident that our rebellious colonies will persist.

Since our struggling industry and jobs are at stake, they're not as fond of this latest wave.

The new bosses are not yet dumping bags of tea in the harbor, but they are polluting the journalistic waters with complaints about how things are done here, as those cheeky Brits don't understand our ways.

The Washington Post's British media executive conveyed to his frustrated staff: "Your content isn't being read!"

As the CEO of The Post, Will has struggled to manage his new company effectively. To keep the story going, the press needs to focus on a trend.

Lewis, a former editor of London's Daily Telegraph and ex-publisher of Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, was implicated in a civil suit related to the British phone-hacking scandal of the 2000s. Despite this, Lewis has consistently maintained his innocence.

Sally Buzbee, the American and low-key editor of the paper, was let go due to the paper's $77 million loss last year.

An NPR reporter claims that Lewis offered Buzbee an exclusive interview in exchange for not disclosing his role in the hacking scandal.

Lewis's cluelessness is evident in his failure to understand that he has no control over whether he is covered or not, particularly in a newsroom known for its independence (which Bezos has respected). Despite Nixon's threats during Watergate, The Post remained independent and did not roll over for a new chief executive. Lewis turned a routine story into a cause célèbre.

"I did everything in my power to maintain journalistic integrity, and I made a decision early on not to discuss it," he said to the Post, whose reporting has been commendably assertive.

There are rumors that Will Lewis may lose his job.

Politico's Jack Shafer says that despite his long tenure as a top reporter and editor in England and his move to the business side, he appears to know little about how to effectively communicate with reporters.

"Lewis knew that the phone-hacking subject could not be avoided when he took the Post job. Dropping the subject or deterring the Post from writing about it was never a viable option. Is he really that dense?"

I’ll reserve judgment on that.

The new editor of the Washington Post will be another Brit, as Robert Winnett, the current deputy editor of the Telegraph Media Group and former editor of London's right-leaning Telegraph, will take over. It's interesting to note that Winnett has worked with Lewis before.

American proprietors find the enduring appeal of British editors in The New York Times.

The tradition of scrappy journalism, which sometimes crosses the line, as the royal family can attest, tends to be paid less than their cousins in the States. Fleet Street's "reputation for fuzzy ethics" can be entertaining, while also getting them into trouble.

So how are they faring?

The diplomatic phrase would be culture clash.

The AP and the New York Post are now managed by Brits.

Emma Tucker, who previously edited London's Sunday Times, now serves as editor of the Wall Street Journal. This occurred following Mark Thompson's departure from the New York Times Co. to become chairman of CNN, where employees are still awaiting the realization of his grand plan.

Nearly a dozen interviews with National Review reveal that Tucker has destroyed the Washington bureau without realizing the influence on the election or the paper's prominent business coverage. The new D.C. bureau chief has just released a book highly critical of Donald Trump.

One former staffer stated that working at the Journal has "transformed from a dream job to a slow-moving nightmare."

Tucker is frequently praised for his lifestyle stories with attention-grabbing headlines, such as those on polyamory and having "great sex" on vacation. However, the issue arises when these stories are not always accurate or reliable.

I have collaborated with and served British journalists for many years. This information is not novel. In the late 1980s, The New Republic appointed Andrew Sullivan, a gay British conservative, as editor of their liberal American magazine. Anna Wintour began serving as editor of Vogue in 1988.

They are sharp, savvy, and sometimes ruthless, filling a void left by self-satisfied and long-winded American journalism, even if they don't quite understand our provincial ways.
