National Geographic magazine lays off all of its staff writers


NEW YORK: National Geographic has laid off all its staff writers, leaving the venerable, award-winning magazine to be pieced together by editors and freelancers.

In all, 19 editorial staffers were cut, including the small audio department at the magazine. They had been notified in April that the axe would fall, German news agency (dpa) quoted The Washington Post report. The layoffs are the latest in a slew of cuts at tech and media publications this year.
