ATTN: Is Latest Digital Content Company to 'Pivot' to Video

L.A.-based startup's writing and editing staff has been disbanded

A quick look at the ATTN: home page and Twitter feed shows that short-form video is front and center. Late this week, that focus was solidified by means of an increasingly familiar operational move known colloquially as the “pivot” to video.

Fishbowl has confirmed that half of the ATTN: editorial staff was abruptly let go Thursday. The remaining mix of writers and editors is being shifted to video production.

Though the number of people affected is smaller than those at other recent video-shift companies like MTV News and Vocativ, it’s not the size that matters.
