New York Media Cuts 5% of Full-Time Staff in Restructuring

The company hopes the layoffs will put it on firmer financial footing

New York Media is laying off 16 full-time staffers and an additional 16 part-time and freelance staffers in a “restructuring” that is intended to put it on firmer financial footing, the company said today.

The cuts primarily affect New York’s audience development and circulation teams, its copy and fact-checking desks and its video and production teams.

“In some cases, the changes we are making reflect a need for new focus as we build out our digital subscription business; in others, they reflect an overdue integration of print and digital staffs,” said Lauren Starke, a spokesperson for New York Media.
