This important appointment comes at a time when the newspaper industry is facing numerous challenges, including layoffs and job reductions. Lewis, known for his expertise in the field of computers and the internet, is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the esteemed publication.
Lewis's appointment is part of a series of executive changes taking place at the Washington Post and its parent company, Dow Jones & Co.

While the reasoning behind this new moniker remains unknown, it is sure to create a unique identity for the iconic newspaper.
