The reductions come after layoffs at HuffPost in the United States were announced this week.
"BuzzFeed has announced today that it's begun a restructuring of HuffPost in order to break even this year and fast-track its path to profitability," a spokeswoman for BuzzFeed said in an emailed statement.
Staff were notified Tuesday about the plans, the spokeswoman said in an interview, and are currently talking with the company about other potential jobs at the company. The number of eliminated jobs will be under 20, she added, but it will not have a final number until the end of next week.
