RD Recap: Cuts at Mashable; Changes at Condé Nast Traveler

Mashable cuts about 30 editorial staffers as it looks to focus less on hard news and more on branded content and entertainment. Among the big names out in the reshuffle are executive editor Jim Roberts, chief revenue officer Seth Rogin, global news editor Louise Roug and business editor Heidi Moore. Additionally, the entire politics team is gone, along with managing editor Jonathan Ellis and half of the editorial video team. Meanwhile, the company, which just raised $15 million from Turner Broadcasting, adds Vocativ’s Greg Gittrich as chief content officer and Ed Wise as chief revenue officer.
