Vice Media joined the pool of news outlets cutting staff in an ongoing industry shakeup this year, it was revealed Friday. According to The Hollywood Reporter, which broke the news that morning shortly before affected staffers were notified, some 250 employees were laid off, totaling roughly 10 percent of the company’s workforce. Hours after THR’s article hit the web, reactions began pouring in on Twitter, some former workers announcing they’d lost their jobs. One employee who survived the cuts told The Wrap’s Jon Levine that a range of staffers were impacted, from production assistants to more senior individuals, including a producer for Vice News Tonight’s 2017 report on violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
