“#Hearst to cut 59 staffers at Oprah Magazine<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The first crack in Hearst Magazines\u2019 no-layoff policy during COVID-19 opened up last week when it revealed plans to cut 59 staffers at O, the Oprah Magazine, which is pulling the plug on its monthly print publication.<\/p>\n

The planned layoffs will take place on Feb. 15, or roughly six weeks after its December issue, according to notice filed with the New York state Labor Department on Friday.<\/p>\n

Insiders say editor-in-chief Lucy Kaylin is expected to survive the cuts, which could clobber much of her staff.<\/p>\n

Hearst announced earlier this year that the December issue will be its last monthly print edition. It still plans to produce up to four special issues next year, insiders said. But such editions, which tend to come with a high cover price, long lead times and few ads, don\u2019t typically require the same staffing levels as a monthly.<\/p>\n

Up to now, Hearst has stood alone among major media<\/a> companies by not laying off or furloughing employees when advertising spending dried up as COVID-19 began ravaging the country. And Hearst on Tuesday suggested the layoffs at Oprah Winfrey\u2019s magazine are not representative of larger plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cSupporting our colleagues through the peak of the pandemic by protecting jobs and enhancing benefits has been our priority,\u201d said a Hearst spokeswoman. \u201cAs we embark on this new chapter and introduce a new model for this beloved brand, we must also make difficult decisions to position the business for growth, which we are doing with consideration and care.\u201d<\/p>\n

The magazine \u2014 a joint venture between Winfrey and Hearst \u2014 disclosed back in July that its 20-year run as a regularly scheduled monthly print magazine would end in December, but didn\u2019t disclose how that would affect the staff.<\/p>\n

At the time, the company said there would likely be a \u201cprint expression\u201d of some sort in the future, but was vague on what that might look like. Insiders have told Media Ink that the plan is to print on a quarterly basis next year and sell those issues at the news<\/a>stand, not directly to subscribers.<\/p>\n

Rival publisher Meredith followed a similar strategy with its Rachael Ray Every Day magazine, which ended its regular print edition late last year. It now app<\/a>ears as a quarterly newsstand-only title without subscribers and with a slight name alteration to Rachael Ray In Season.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
