Vice Media has cut around a dozen editorial and news staff as part of its latest round of layoffs. The youth-focused media company, which is behind series such as Showtime’s Vice, has laid off around 2% of its news staff, which incorporates people working in online news as well as its flagship Vice News brand.
The layoffs at Vice come as the broader entertainment business has been going through similar changes. Warner Bros. Discovery and NBCUniversal have made a number of cuts across its businesses and earlier this afternoon Disney was beginning “tough” and “uncomfortable” decisions around cutting back its approximately 190,000-employee base.
Vice’s cuts comes as part of a consolidation effort that started with promotion of Cory Haik from Chief Digital Officer to Chief Operating Officer, News and Entertainment.
Haik was promoted at the same time as Morgan Hertzan, who became President of Global TV, as well as re-upped contracts for President, Global News and Entertainment Jesse Angelo, whom Haik and Hertzan report to, and Subrata De, who oversees all news coverage at Vice Media.
