Feminist publication Jezebel is shutting down after 16 years, its parent company G/O Media announced in a memo to employees Thursday. The media group said it is also laying off 23 employees, including the staff of Jezebel, across its digital platforms.'As of this week we are making the very, very difficult decision to suspend publication of Jezebel,' G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller said in the memo obtained by CBS News.
The publication, launched in 2007 by Gawker Media, was known for reporting and commentary on hot-button cultural issues affecting women, covering topics ranging from politics, entertainment, beauty and fashion, women's health, women in the public eye and more.
