Watch: Vox Media to Lay Off 5 Percent of Employees
The digital media company is set to fire 50 staffers as it moves away from its push for native social video. The cuts were announced on Wednesday by Jim Bankoff, Vox Media’s CEO. As a result of our decision to wind down certain initiatives, we’ll be saying goodbye to some of our talented colleagues who have made valuable contributions to our success.

Other digital media publishers, like Buzzfeed and Mashable, have also experienced large lay offs in the past few months.
