Hillary Frey, the executive editor, and Louise Roug, the executive editor for international, will be departing due to the restructuring.
Several former Huffpost reporters also took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce the loss of their jobs:
Today I got laid off at HuffPost, after a decade of work I am so incredibly proud of. I am one of 47 of my deeply, beautifully, funny and talented and wonderful and kind colleagues who lost their jobs today.
I’m the most sad that we can’t all hug each other. (Also… hire me?)
well! just found out that after ten years at huffpost, i’m being laid off.
