The Washington Post buyout watch

A huge shakeup is underway at The Washington Post as more than 100 newsroom employees have agreed to take buyouts.
Editor & Publisher reports that one point of interest has been the number of top editors and big names, including columnists David Broder and Tony Kornheiser, who reportedly signed up to take the early retirement.
The deadline to sign up was 5 p.m. on Thursday. Employees have seven days from then to change their minds.
And now it is rumored that The Post's Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. may also have plans to leave the paper.
