Hearst Magazines cut 41 employees across its publications on Thursday, the company confirmed, adding to layoffs at ESPN, National Geographic and Grazia in the last month, as a brutal series of closures and job losses rock the media industry in 2023. Bloomberg cut about 10 people from its national news desk, radio and television staff, according to Insider. Salem Media Group, a Texas-based Christian radio broadcaster, announced it would lay off about 3% of its 1,436 employees, according to RadioInsight. NPR affiliate New England Public Media announced it will lay off 17 employees—20% of its staff—by March 31 after facing “serious financial headwinds during the last three years,” New England Public Media management tells Boston public radio. NBC News and MSNBC laid off 75 employees as part of a broader corporate reorganization.
