SpinMedia to Cut Workforce by 15 Percent

SpinMedia, owner of Vibe and Spin, is planning to cut 15 percent of its workforce, resulting in about 30 staffers losing their jobs. The New York Post reports that the company will also drop some of its smaller online properties, like absolutepunk.com.

Dale Strang, SpinMedia’s CEO, said that sites such as Idolator, CeleBuzz and The Superficial will stay around. The company is also sticking with its plan to publish Vibe as a quarterly magazine.

This is the second round of layoffs at SpinMedia in the last seven months.
