National Geographic has laid off all its staff writers, leaving the venerable, award-winning magazine to be pieced together by editors and freelancers.
In all, 19 editorial staffers were cut, including the small audio department at the magazine. They had been notified in April that the ax would fall, The Washington Post reported. The layoffs are the latest in a slew of cuts at tech and media publications this year.
The writers themselves tweeted out the news, focusing on the great run they’d had.
