☆ Jezebel, the Oral History: ‘There Was This Riotous Sense of Fun’
  + stars: | 2023-11-17 | by ( Kate Dwyer | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Lauren Tousignant, senior editor, 2021, to interim editor in chief, 2023: Jezebel got a little neutered under G/O Media. The last few weeks were the most fun in a way, because they had stopped paying attention to us. Kylie Cheung, staff writer, 2021-2023: It’s worker-owned media like Defector and 404 — or nonprofit newsrooms like The 19th News — that gives me hope. Ashley Reese: I became a better writer because of Jezebel, especially when working with my editors, Katie McDonough and Stassa Edwards. And if we were given the resources that we needed, maybe we wouldn’t be talking about Jezebel in the past tense.

☆ Jezebel, the Sharp-Edged Feminist Website, Is Shutting Down After 16 Years

NEW YORK (AP) — Jezebel, the sharp-edged feminist website founded at the height of blogosphere era, is shutting down after 16 years, its parent company announced Thursday. G/O Media said 23 staffers would be laid off, including Jezebel's team, as part of a restructuring to cope with economic headwinds and a difficult digital advertising environment. The New York-based company also announced the departure of G/O Media editorial director Merrill Brown. In a memo to the company, G/0 Media CEO Jim Spanfeller said he made the “very, very difficult decision to suspend publication of Jezebel” after an unsuccessful search for a buyer for the website. In 2019, Jezebel became part of the G/0 Media portfolio, which also includes Gizmodo, Quartz, the Onion and the Root.
