G/O Media saw more layoffs Friday as the company reallocated money from video production to other areas, like editorial. 15 staffers lost their jobs. G/O owns brands including The Onion, Deadspin, Gizmodo and Jezebel.
Kotaku senior video producer Chris Person tweeted that he had been laid off and added, “Also as far as I can tell Kotaku has no producers now.”
A G/O spokesperson confirmed to TheWrap, “In our efforts to strengthen editorial teams at G/O Media, we completed a thorough evaluation of our traffic and sites. In doing so, we’re making the unfortunate but necessary decision to change our current process of video production.
