Layoffs Hit HuffPost After Verizon's Acquisition of Yahoo

39 employees are out

While yesterday’s Time Inc. layoffs were partially a result of financial strain coming after the company decided not to sell itself, today’s layoffs at HuffPost arrive after the completion of parent company Verizon’s purchase of Yahoo, which rolls Yahoo, AOL and HuffPost into an entity known as Oath.

The planned jobs cuts were reported previously, but the specifics are now becoming clear: HuffPost has laid off 39 union employees, according to Writers Guild of America, East, which represents HuffPost’s editorial staff.
