NBC News has laid off several dozen staffers, the latest of dozens of companies to start off the new year with bad news for its employees, USA TODAY confirmed Friday.
A source familiar with the plans said that employees were given a 60-day notice and will get severance packages and outplacement.
The layoffs at NBC News, first reported by Puck News, are the latest in an onslaught of cuts made in the journalism industry throughout 2023, including by NBC News, which slashed 75 jobs this same time last year, according to a timeline provided by Forbes.
Other industries, including tech, are starting this year off by slashing staffers from the payroll.
