11 Editorial Staffers Laid Off in Nielsen Magazine Reorg; 19 Jobs Cut In Total
As part of the reorg of its Adweek Media Group, B2B publisher Nielsen Business Media has laid off 11 staffers in editorial, paidContent has learned. A Nielsen rep confirmed the cuts, which come on top of the 8 additional posts eliminated in some of the travel, performance group and retail food group publications, which were announced yesterday, for a total of 19 cuts at the company. Most of those cut were reporters, not editors, at the group’s pubs Adweek (which lost 3 staffers), Mediaweek (4 down), Brandweek (3 cut) and Editor & Publisher (1 lay off). Nielsen is putting together a new content strategy for its 40 magazine properties, which also include The Hollywood Reporter, and Billboard, as well as the aforementioned titles. At the Adweek Group, the three separate editorial teams will now be combined into one, though the individual titles will remain.
