Donate to Support Laid-off Vox Media Workers, organized by Victoria Song On Friday, January 16, 2026, the Vox Media Union received news from management about … Victoria Song needs your support for Support Laid-off Vox Media Workers

Vox Media workers are facing tough times after recent layoffs, especially in a challenging job market. If you’re able to donate and/or share this campaign to help support our laid-off colleagues, it’d be greatly appreciated. Thanks y’all!! gofund.me/cf03c6e21

Today, Friday, January 16, 2026, the Vox Media Union received news from management about more layoffs at the company: three in-unit workers from PopSugar, two from The Verge, and three from Eater — not including a number of out-of-unit employees — some of whom were on parental and other types of company-approved leave. Beyond this, the company announced that it will no longer have a centralized Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI+) team, redistributing that work across the People team and leadership, and keeping Employee Resource Groups as simply Slack spaces without formal lead roles or any standalone budgets. There is almost no further room to be shocked at these developments, as the company has laid off workers at an average of once per quarter in the last year, but we continue to be disgusted by the fact that leadership seems to have developed no real learning or commitment to workforce sustainability and retention. Those at the top remain safe in their positions while mercilessly cutting off those who work day in and day out (and then some) to make sure that essential, business-critical work is done. Our indispensable colleagues are now in extra vulnerable positions, having to navigate workplace bureaucracy alongside a volatile job market and relentless threats to the integrity of journalism as a whole. This union is proud to have rallied in multiple rounds of contract bargaining to ensure more equitable worker rights and protections in the face of management incompetence. As always, we, along with our Guild reps, will continue to demand that members are treated fairly in the aftermath of layoffs. Details on how you can support laid-off workers at Vox Media will be forthcoming. Please follow the Vox Media Union on Instagram (@voxmediaunion) and Bluesky (@voxunion.bsky.social). Solidarity forever. The Vox Media Union Committees Writers Guild of America East, AFL-CIO

Another year, another round of layoffs at Vox Media. In solidarity with our laid-off colleagues, here is our full statement:

just want to point out that you guys were mean to me when I said we can't call everything a podcast and now you are all mad Netflix is calling this a podcast

Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards Once you’ve traded your principles for proximity to power, do you even run your own company?

It's important _not_ to give up on podcasts — because their concept is radical, and fights back against big tech (and fascist policy makers) being able to control people's voices through their platforms: www.anildash.com/2024/02/05/w...

"Unfortunately, all this also means that a lot of the openness of podcasting is slowly going away and becoming more centralized on platforms like YouTube and Netflix."

Hill I'm willing to die on: podcasts becoming a video-forward medium is / was a huge mistake, and the space is worse off for it

It's my favorite topic to talk about!

I rarely see that anymore to be honest!

I agree we should keep RSS alive for podcasts, but I'm mostly just noting here the path of the media industry right now.

yeah, it's funny this seems to echo the time when radio shows were being turned into television shows in the 50s

that's an amazing reference
