CNN —Deadspin, the irreverent sports and news site best known for its commentary and analysis, laid off all of its staff on Monday after the outlet was sold to a startup firm.
A G/O Media spokesperson confirmed that 11 Deadspin staffers were impacted by the move on Monday.
Last year, G/O Media also sold Jezebel to Paste Magazine after briefly shutting down the publication and laying off its entire staff.
The slashing of Deadspin’s staff is the latest in what so far has been a tumultuous year for the news media.
TIME also laid off 15% of its unionized editorial staff and The Los Angeles Times cut over 20% of its newsroom staff.
