Hi there,

Today is the first of two Public Media Giving Days, a time to celebrate what public and independent media gives to you by giving back. If you think Democracy Now!’s reporting is a critical line of defense against war, climate catastrophe and authoritarianism, please make your donation of $10 or more right now. In honor of Public Media Giving Days, a generous donor will TRIPLE your donation, which means it’ll go 3x as far to support our independent journalism. Democracy Now! is funded by you, and that’s why we’re counting on your donation to keep us going strong. Please give today. Every dollar makes a difference—in fact, gets tripled! Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

BuzzFeed Lays Off 30% of HuffPost Workers Weeks After Acquisition

HeadlineMar 10, 2021

In media and labor news, BuzzFeed announced nearly 50 U.S. employees of the HuffPost newsroom are being laid off, just three weeks after it acquired HuffPost from Verizon Media. HuffPost’s Canadian operation has also been shut down. The HuffPost Union said in a statement it was “devastated and infuriated,” adding, “Our union will continue fighting to make HuffPost a more just and equitable workplace, including pushing for clear and accountable commitments to hiring and promoting more people of color and for transparency around pay equity.”
