Sally Jenkins, a renowned sports columnist, is leaving The Washington Post after accepting a buyout. Her goodbye memo received accolades for its emotional depth and quality. Jenkins expressed her sadness about leaving, stating, "it's with a spear in my heart that I separate from you, my adored friends and colleagues." As Jenkins transitions to The Atlantic to continue writing about sports, her departure signifies a significant loss for The Post, which has experienced a trend of high-profile exits due to new ownership policies.
Dan Steinberg, a former Post sportswriter who is now an editor at The Athletic, tweeted, "Sally Jenkins's goodbye note is, like, better than anything I have ever written."
Chelsea Janes, the Post's excellent national baseball writer, tweeted, "It's devastating. And @SallyJenki is latest gut punch, a moral compass for the sports world."
Jenkins wrote in her note, "The Washington Post has given me most of what I have in this life.
