After Vice Media's announcement to cut down on written content and articles published on Vice.com and Refinery 29, the company has laid off more than a dozen employees- mostly writers and text editors. The company announced that it is shifting its emphasis to video content after it saw much success on platforms like Tik Tok. 

Writers and editors for the company shared the news of their termination on Twitter and one former staff member said they were given a last-minute notice and access to their company mail was cut within minutes. Last year Vice Media laid off 155 employees overall with 55 jobs cut in the US due to the pandemic.
