The Washington Post is rolling out a new mission statement ahead of President-elect Trump’s second term in the White House.

The Post unveiled “Riveting Storytelling for All of America,” as its new mission statement to catch the essence of its journalism and business, the New York Times first reported on Thursday.

A spokesperson for the outlet told The Hill the Post has no plans to scrap “Democracy Dies in Darkness” as its consumer-facing tagline, a slogan it has carried since 2017.

The revamped mission statement comes at a time of internal strife among staff and financial uncertainty at the Post.

The outlet has experienced a number of high-profile departures by top editors and reporters in recent weeks, some of whom have publicly blasted the company’s new CEO Will Lewis and billionaire owner Jeff Bezos over editorial decisions.

On Wednesday, hundreds of Post employees penned a letter to Bezos questioning the journalistic “integrity” of the Post’s leadership and urging him to intervene at the leading news outlet.

The Post lost more than 200,000 subscribers last fall after Bezos killed a staff editorial endorsing Vice President Harris ahead of the presidential election, sparking accusations of capitulation to Trump.
