In a memo shared by the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/26/business/media/new-york-public-radio-job-cuts-wnyc.html), NYPR CEO/President LaFontaine Oliver said a ?free fall in the advertising market? led to the need to cut staff. Employees to-be-cut will be notified next week, but the organization did not state which divisions will be hit. Current.org (https://current.org/2023/09/nypr-to-cut-about-12-of-staff/) notes that approximately 40 employees will be affected.
The layoffs follow the announced exit (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/258563/wnyc-chief-content-officer-andrew-golis-to-exit/) of NYPR Chief Content Officer Andrew Golis earlier this month.
