Paramount Global is cutting approximately 2,000 jobs, marking one of the first major restructuring moves since the media giant completed its $8 billion merger with Skydance Media in August.
Roughly half of the planned layoffs, about 1,000 positions, were initiated across the company on Wednesday, according to a source familiar with the matter. The remaining cuts are expected to take place in the coming weeks.
