Tech and culture news websites including Vice, Gizmodo, Refinery29, Kotaku and Lifehacker will no longer publish in Australia, with dozens of jobs to be cut as the Pedestrian Group undergoes restructuring and cost cutting.
The company, which is owned by Nine, licenses the brands to republish in Australia, as well as producing their own local content under the same banner. Pedestrian took control of the longstanding publications as part of the merger between Nine and Fairfax in 2019.
