Feminist media site Jezebel is suspending publication, as its owner reckons with a downturn in online advertising.
G/O Media chief Jim Spanfeller announced the move in a memo to staff, calling it an “excruciating” decision.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Never heard of it. Is it the good type of feminist media or the awful type (ex: Buzzfeed)?
For what it’s worth, every article I’ve seen from them was pretty poignant, relevant, and funny.
You might not care much about Jezebel, but their parent company, G/O Media, also owns Gizmodo, Kotaku, Jalopnik, Deadspin, The Root, The A.V. Club, The Takeout, The Onion, The Inventory, and Quartz.
So if you like any of those (Lemmy fucking loves The Onion, right?) then this news should concern you a bit.
Also, RIP Jezebel. Sometimes they were edgy and weird for no reason but they also did some solid reporting over the years.
I’m calling it now.
The A.V. Club, Gizmodo, and Kotaku are getting merged in 2024.
Last I heard I think they had lost or fired 7 Editor in Chiefs across their holdings in the past 8 months or so. From what I’ve heard they are run pretty terribly for the people that work there and G/O just generally suck.
The former Kotaku EIC in particular did not have nice things to say about them on The Games Press podcast
Are there any alternatives?
