G/O Media has officially shut down feminist website Jezebel, as the media company is hit with a round of layoffs.
In a memo sent to staff on Thursday obtained by The Independent, CEO Jim Spanfeller confirmed that the female-driven news outlet will be suspended permanently. “As of this week we are making the very, very difficult decision to suspend publication of Jezebel,” he wrote to employees. “Few decisions over the course of my career have been as excruciating, and I want to make clear this is in no way a reflection on the Jezebel editorial team.”
