Run the 2026 list in one go and the scale becomes hard to argue with. BuzzFeed cut a third of its staff after Byron Allen’s takeover. GB News proposed cutting roughly a third of its own after building what it described as groundbreaking automated workflows. The Washington Post cut hundreds in February, about a third of the business. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution went for around fifty jobs, fifteen percent of staff. CBS News cut about sixty-six people, six percent, and closed CBS News Radio in the process.
