I'm a lifetime Post subscriber and have been at my wits end with it for a few years, so would love to see a major shake-up, but, I agree, making changes based on how many Friday meetings there are is .... not inspiring. On the WFH thing, though, I DO think that the fact so many Post reporters have not come back to the office is likely reflected in the WAY they write about, for example, COVID or cultural trends. The tone reflects a highly neurotic, anxious personality whose views are extrapolated to represent the world at large. Inaccurately.

One thing that really bugs me about the NYT is that the tone & scope of the their foreign-affairs coverage, except when it comes to major crises like the Ukraine war.

If you read the Times, you will not get a reliable picture of what is going on in the politics of any major European country, or even Mexico or Canada. If you read the Economist, you will. The Economist is at least as slanted as the Times, but they try to inform you about the foreign country. The Times does quaint human interest stories and points to controversies abroad which resemble American culture war battles. (Or controversies which they make resemble our culture-war battles). Of course that is probably what their readers want.
