NowThis recently laid off about half its unionized newsroom, occurring as the company faces severe financial pressures due to a decline in advertising revenue.
The layoffs affected 13 of 21 members of the WGA East at NowThis, demonstrating the significant impact of the ongoing media downsizing trends.
The digital news company previously aimed to broaden its coverage for the upcoming 2024 election, but prior layoffs have already hindered such ambitions.
Vox Media's spinoff of NowThis was designed to promote civic engagement, yet the layoffs indicate deep challenges in achieving that goal amid financial struggles.
