CNN, NBC to lay off employees amid digital shift
The layoffs at CNN and NBC come as the US media landscape is witnessing a major shift. More people are now consuming news through streaming services and social media, instead of traditional linear TV. The Associated Press had announced in November that it would cut its workforce by 8%.
Both CNN and NBC News are planning layoffs this week as newsrooms transition away from linear TV toward digital audiences.
The job cuts come as CNN looks to rearrange its linear TV lineup and building out digital subscription products.
