Sun and Daily Mail Cut Jobs in US Digital Operations Amid Financial Strain

News UK and DMGT announce restructuring efforts to adapt to changing digital landscape and declining ad revenues.

News UK and DMGT have announced significant job cuts in their US digital operations, affecting the Sun and Daily Mail.
Around 10% of the Daily Mail's US workforce, approximately 20 employees, are being laid off, while the Sun's layoffs are described as a smaller but substantial percentage.
Both companies cite seismic changes in the digital landscape and declining advertising revenues as primary reasons for the job cuts.
The Sun's US website, launched in late 2019, has seen a significant drop in traffic, from a peak of 95.4 million monthly visits in April 2023 to 34.1 million in August 2023.
Despite the layoffs, both publishers emphasize the need to invest in areas with growth potential to ensure long-term sustainability.
