Feminist publication Jezebel is shutting down after 16 years following a downturn in online advertising, its parent company, G/O Media, announced on Nov. 9.

Jim Spanfeller, CEO of G/O Media, revealed the closure in an internal memo to the company’s staff, noting that 23 individuals will be laid off amid “economic headwinds” such as “high interest rates” and “global crises.”
