Cuts Come to Guardian US

The exact number of planned staff cuts is unknown

Guardian US is hit with a round of cuts–again, as the U.K.-based publication looks to cut operating costs in order to reach a goal of breaking even by 2018/2019. On the United States side, that cost reduction, 20 percent, will bring with it a staff reduction first reported on by BuzzFeed’s Steven Perlberg.

The number of cuts, which will include buyouts, were not specified, amounting to a vague “some job losses” in an email to staff by Guardian Media Group CEO David Pemsel and Guardian editor in chief Kath Viner.
