Fake News Collapses! CNN Laying Off Dozens Of Employees After Missing Revenue Goals – Here Are The Numbers!

Sooner or later, the sponsors who run the ads which are the main revenue stream for NFL, CNN, NBC, Oscars, etc. will start to realize it ain’t worth it to spend $$$ millions for 30 sec of an ad on crap no one is watching.

And CNN started to feel the effect of the boycott!

CNN is preparing to lay off dozens of employees after missing projected revenue goals, a new report reveals.

Up to 50 CNN employees are going to be out of work this week, Vanity Fair reports. The cuts will target “employees who work in premium businesses including CNN Money, video, product, tech and social publishing,” according to the report.

The cuts are the latest indication that CNN executives plan to seriously downgrade their digital operations.

From Vanity Fair:

[D]espite the so-called Trump Bump, CNN appears to be re-thinking at least some elements of its digital strategy. I’ve learned that CNN, a key property in AT&T’s planned takeover of CNN’s parent company, Time Warner, is targeting big savings on the digital side, with as many as 50 jobs around the globe scheduled to be eliminated this week, according to people familiar with the matter, who noted the exact number could still be in flux.

The cuts will affect employees who work in premium businesses including CNN Money, video, product, tech and social publishing, these people said. Several high profile digital initiatives are being scaled back, including CNN’s virtual reality productions and its efforts on Snapchat, where CNN recently nixed a live daily webcast after just four months. CNN’s business-oriented MoneyStream app, as BuzzFeed reported earlier this month, is in the gutter as well. A team that works on the digital extensions of documentary-style TV shows, such as Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown and Lisa Ling’s This is Life, as well as the Brooke Baldwin series American Woman, is also being reorganized.

The budget measures seem to take some heat off the ambitious digital futurism that CNN was preaching just under a year ago. A March 2017 Hollywood Reporter cover story portrayed the network as taking on Vice and BuzzFeed in the battle for digital dominance. Just like with Vice and BuzzFeed, however, the past year has turned out to be a cruel one for just about any business that relies, in part, on revenue from digital advertising. Those three organizations fell short of their revenue projections—part of a larger industry reckoning that has hit digital brands from Mic to Mashable and many others. (CNN missed its target by tens of millions of dollars, according to a person with knowledge of the numbers, who noted that the business line was nonetheless still profitable.)

I guess not too many people are interested in their propaganda any longer? Clinton news network is reeling from the election loss still!
