Vox Media and Condé Nast Announce New Round of Layoffs

Job cuts reflect ongoing turmoil in advertising and increasing volatility of search and social platforms.

Vox Media and Condé Nast announced layoffs, marking another wave of job cuts in the media industry.
Vox Media let go of approximately 4% of its staff, primarily in its product, design, technology and analytics team, as well as their animal-focused site, The Dodo.
Condé Nast is reportedly beginning layoffs at publications including The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, following an earlier announcement of plans to trim its team by 5%.
The layoffs reflect continued turmoil in advertising and the need to build more loyal audience relationships amid the increasing volatility of search and social platforms.
The Vox Media Union and other employees have expressed outrage over the layoffs, demanding that management find a financial path forward that does not result in the elimination of any more union jobs.
