"Lauren Tousignant will continue serving as Jezebel's Editor-in-Chief, with former Splinter EIC Jacob Weindling continuing to write every week as Splinter's Editor-at-Large, as we attempt to preserve everything he poured into the site these last two years, as well as the great work that came before. The entire Splinter archive is now available under the Splinter tab of Jezebel.com, from its beginnings as part of Fusion TV to its latest iteration under Weindling's leadership."
"We're excited to introduce Splinter's readers to Jezebel's culture, politics, and reproductive rights coverage. And to introduce Jezebel readers' to Jacob Weindling's takedowns of anyone abusing power, Roqayah Chamseddine's original reporting from the Middle East, Jen Kirby's geopolitical expertise, and Jim Vorel's crazy-well-researched rabbit holes. And we'll round out some of our entertainment coverage with help from our sister sites, The A.V. Club and Paste Magazine."
"Both were folded due to a media climate that has been particularly unkind to controversial political stories and "brand unsafe" content. But Splinter, the left-leaning politics site that shared corporate owners with Jezebel, had lain dormant far longer. Because of that and the continued and seemingly ever-increasing challenges of today's media landscape, we have decided to combine those two homes for great writing about politics and culture under one roof, Jezebel.com."
Splinter has been consolidated into Jezebel.com to combine left-leaning politics and culture coverage under one site amid challenging media conditions. The consolidation preserves Splinter's archive, now accessible under a Splinter tab that spans its Fusion TV origins through its latest iteration. Lauren Tousignant remains Jezebel's Editor-in-Chief, and Jacob Weindling will write weekly as Splinter's Editor-at-Large to maintain previous editorial work. Splinter's opinionated coverage of political failures will continue alongside Jezebel's culture, politics, and reproductive rights reporting. Contributions from Roqayah Chamseddine, Jen Kirby, and Jim Vorel will augment coverage, and entertainment content will be supplemented by The A.V. Club and Paste Magazine. Current Jezebel and Splinter subscribers retain ad-free access.
