Even the Washington Post by Jeff Bezos relies on a woman. Sally Buzbee has in fact been appointed new director, the first in 144 history of the prestigious American newspaper. He replaces Marty Baron, recently retired.
From 2017 at the helm of the Ap, of which he was also vice president, led the agency through the years of Trump, MeToo, the pandemic and Black Lives Matter, right up to Biden’s election and his first steps in the White House.
