NBC News is slashing its verticals dedicated to issues surrounding marginalized and minority communities as it lays off roughly 7 percent of its staff amid a restructure as the Peacock Network fully splits from its cable entities.
With about 150 people notified this week that they are losing their jobs, the layoffs are spread across the newsroom as the network will no longer be assisting with the news gathering at CNBC and MSNBC, which were spun off into a separate company, Versant.
