Kotaku Editor-in-Chief Jen Glennon Resigns Over Editorial Strategy Shift

Glennon departs after G/O Media mandates a pivot from news to video game guides, citing misalignment with her values and the site's goals.

  • Jen Glennon, Kotaku's editor-in-chief, announced her resignation, criticizing G/O Media's new focus on video game guides over news.
  • The resignation marks another loss for G/O Media, which has seen a series of top editors leave and faced criticism for its management decisions.
  • Glennon's departure was spurred by a directive to produce 50 game guides a week, a move she believes undermines the site's news-reporting infrastructure.
  • The shift in editorial strategy has replaced Kotaku's front page of breaking news with tips and guides, according to reports.
  • G/O Media has not responded to requests for comment on Glennon's resignation and the reported changes at Kotaku.
