WaPo's opinion editor is leaving a year after a controversial shake-up. Read his memo to staff.

The Washington Post's opinion editor Adam O'Neal is leaving after about a year, following a controversial shake-up initiated by owner Jeff Bezos to focus the opinion section on 'personal liberties and free markets.' O'Neal highlighted increased engagement metrics during his tenure, but the changes faced criticism from former Post editor Martin Baron for conflicting with the paper's editorial independence history.
