A cartoonist has quit her job at the Washington Post after an editor rejected her sketch of the newspaper’s owner and other media executives bowing before President-elect Donald Trump.

Ann Telnaes posted a message on Friday on the online platform Substack saying she drew the cartoon showing a group of media executives bowing before Mr Trump while offering him bags of money, including Post owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
