Washington Post editor-in-chief Sally Buzbee resigned over disagreement with CEO Will Lewis on publishing a story about Lewis' British phone-hacking scandal.

Washington Post editor-in-chief Sally Buzbee reportedly resigned after clashing with CEO Will Lewis over whether to publish a story about Lewis' British phone-hacking scandal. Buzbee informed Lewis that the newsroom planned to cover a judge's upcoming ruling in a British legal case involving Prince Harry and others against Rupert Murdoch's tabloids. The judge was expected to decide whether Lewis' name could be added to a list of executives accused of concealing hacking evidence. Lewis argued that the case did not merit coverage, but Buzbee insisted on publishing the article.
