Bustle Digital Group is the latest media company having to make cuts as the coronavirus continues to take its toll on the already fragile sector.
Seven of the layoffs were at The Outline. Out of the entire team, only Josh Topolsky, who founded it in 2015, will stay on at the company in his role as editor in chief of its culture & innovation portfolio, encompassing sites Inverse, Mic and Input. Until Friday, that also included The Outline. She told WWD that given the circumstances it’s “understandable why it’s happening, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less devastating.”BDG acquired the-then floundering The Outline last May for an undisclosed sum, fitting in with its strategy purchasing sites that were either dormant or about to be, including Gawker and Mic. Indeed, before the sale it was dogged by rumors that a closure was imminent.
