Jezebel, Prominent Feminist News Outlet, Shuts Down Amid Layoffs
Jezebel, the influential feminist blog, is suspending operations and laying off its staff as its parent company, G/O Media, undergoes restructuring. Despite efforts to find a buyer for Jezebel, no suitable offers were found. G/O Media CEO, Jim Spanfeller, expressed the difficulty of the decision and emphasized that it was not a reflection on the editorial team. The broader restructuring will also result in layoffs across the company. The media industry continues to face challenges due to a weak advertising climate, leading to cost-cutting measures and layoffs across various companies.
