Leonard Downie Jr., the Post's executive editor, said in an interview that the goal of the latest cuts was to operate more efficiently and that they're not anywhere near maximizing what they can do in their multimedia presentations. Mr. Downie said other cost savings could come from having foreign correspondents cover broad topics, terrorism, say, rather than cover specific countries, thus allowing for the elimination of some foreign bureaus.
