Vice Media began informing journalists today that they’ve been laid off as the struggling company pivots away from producing news in favour of a business model in which investors pay managers to produce no news.

“We know this is a tough time, people are worried about their own careers and the future of journalism in general and I want to promise everyone that I personally will be absolutely fine,” C.E.O. Bruce Dixon said in a form letter attached to the layoff notices.
