"Great stories and great scoops are always good to remind people — both externally and internally — that it's all about the journalism at the end of the day," Murray said.
Dan Diamond, Hannah Natanson, Carolyn Y. Johnson, and Lena H. Sun are among the reporters who have dug into specifics about Department of Government Efficiency-inspired cuts and what they've meant for medical research and services for Social Security recipients. Natanson, Rachel Siegel, and Laura Meckler have explored the use of government data to go after illegal immigrants.
"The Post has an historic obligation — it's right in our name, Washington — to write aggressively, truthfully, thoughtfully about the government and what's happening there," Murray said. "Obviously the Trump administration, whatever one thinks of them, has the most aggressive change program that we've seen in many administrations."
The work breaking stories has been noticeable, said Margaret Sullivan, a former media columnist at the Post who still writes, teaches at Columbia University, and runs the Craig Newmark Center for Journalism Ethics and Security there.
"I've been happy to see that," she said. "The place has been through such a difficult time and it's not due to the journalists there. It's because of the ownership and management."
Bezos' actions with the opinion section have hurt the Post's reputation when its news coverage has been excellent, said Robert McCartney, a retired Post columnist. "Their DOGE coverage has been really good, as good as anybody's," he said. "They have broken a lot of news. They have done a lot of important accountability reporting."
Between the turmoil and a sea of red ink resulting in layoffs, the Post suffered a significant talent defection at the end of last year. Journalists like Matea Gold, the respected managing editor, and reporters Josh Dawsey, Ashley Parker, Philip Rucker, and Michael Scherer took new jobs. That exposed some thin skin; Murray, then only interim editor, briefly banned goodbye emails believing they were bad for morale, before the decision was reversed, the Guardian reported. The paper has banned its media writers from reporting stories about the newspaper.
"The reporters are doing good work, by and large," said Richard Prince, a retired reporter and editor who spent 20 years at the Post in two stints. "It's a shame there is all this turmoil that is coming from the top. It seems like they lost more talent than they gained."
At a time there are more journalists than jobs, the Post is still a desired destination. "Many other people are stepping up and have had new opportunities and are showing their chops," said Murray, who had the "interim" removed from his title with no fanfare earlier this year.
The Post is still in transition; Murray appointed some key deputies last week. It is still sorting out coverage areas that need more attention and those that don't. He promised more resources to follow technology, artificial intelligence, and the markets.
