Mashable Fires Employees Amid Website’s Shift to Video

Bloomberg: Mashable is firing an unspecified number of employees as the Internet media company shifts its focus to video entertainment from politics and world news. Executive editor Jim Roberts, formerly with the New York Times, and ex-Times advertising executive Seth Rogin, Mashable’s chief revenue officer, are leaving as part of a reorganization. Mashable, which employs 325 people globally, “must part ways with some of our colleagues in order to focus our efforts.”
