Axios Cuts roughly 50 Positions amid ‘changing’ media landscape: ‘Painful but necessary’​

News site Axios is slashing roughly 50 jobs amid volatility in the media landscape, Axios co-founder and Chief Executive Jim VandeHei said Tuesday.

The Axios CEO cited the need to make “difficult changes” to adapt to the changing climate in a memo to staffers.

Axios employes roughly 500 people.

The layoffs come at a particularly volatile time for media companies, which are being squeezed by shrinking advertising and a slowdown in web traffic due to changes in Facebook and Google’s search algorithm.

 

Cartoon Network website goes dark amid Warner Bros. Discovery cost-cutting moves​


Cash-bleeding media giant Warner Bros. Discovery pulled the plug on Cartoon Network’s website.

The David Zaslav-led company — which on Wednesday reported a whopping net loss of almost $10 billion, driven by a stunning $9.1 billion write-down for a drop in value of its cable TV networks — redirected visitors to cartoonnetwork.com to a landing page on Max, its streaming service.

“Looking for episodes of your favorite Cartoon Network shows? Check out what’s available to stream on Max (subscription required),” a pop-up message says on the new Max landing page.

WBD — which owns movie studio Warner Bros., Food Network, HBO and CNN — disabled cartoonnetwork.com on Thursday, Variety reported.

Sports Media More Than Willing To Cover For College Sports’ Biggest Offenders​


Q:What’s the difference between organized crime and big time college athletics?

A: Organized crime has rules.

Q: How do you make level playing fields?

A: Make them all crooked.

An “expert analyst’s” view on the coming college football season, replete with rankings, transfer portal signings, grad-school loophole additions and big signings — “big” now often meaning in exchange for expensive new sports cars dangled as NIL bribes for society’s long-term benefits, even if none can exist.

It’s impossible to take any of this news seriously beyond the fact that it’s in CBS’s best interests to bang the drums for what “college” sports have become as CBS remains heavily invested in them even as they mimic organized crime legalized by a court system unwilling or unable to serve humanity’s best interests beyond quick, fleeting cash and garish goods.

Thus, the ostensible, charter-prescribed reasons American colleges exist and have for decades and even centuries have been sacrificed to the legal system’s short-sighted decision to grant total anarchy even to preexisting crooked athletic programs.

FOX News Channel (FNC) finished the month of July as the most watched network in all of television in weekday primetime, outpacing not only all of cable but the competition on broadcast networks ABC, CBS and NBC. Posting its highest July on record and among top 10 highest-rated months of all time, FNC is the only channel to grow its audience versus 2020 and 2016, as the competition shed massive viewership. According to Nielsen Media Research, FNC has accelerated the most among U.S. television, gaining the largest percentage of viewers and solidifying its spot as the go-to destination for all breaking news, occupying the largest share of the audience since November 2014 (60% in total day viewers). Attracting the highest viewership in television, FOX News Media was the leader in news during the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, the Republican National Convention (RNC), President Biden’s decision to end his re-election campaign and his first Oval Office address to the nation following the news. FNC delivered 99 of the top 100 telecasts in cable news, while MSNBC netted justone and CNN had zero. July was the highest-rated month since the November 2020 election as more Independents continued to tune in to FNC over any other network, according to data from Nielsen MRI Fusion. Additionally, FNC ranked as the top network in all of cable among upscale, Asian and Hispanic viewers during total day viewership and 25-54 demo.
