ABC News eliminating 538 amid layoffs
ABC News Group is eliminating its political arm, 538, which specializes in polling, surveys and data, amid wider layoffs at the Walt Disney parent company, according to information obtained by The Hill.
The layoffs are expected to impact 200 employees which represents under 6 percent of the staff at the company and Disney Entertainment Networks unit. Fifteen employees at 538 will be let go.
The move is a part of broader consolidation efforts that include changes to ABC’s on air programming, sources told The Hill.
ABC cut approximately 75 jobs last fall under the leadership of Almin Karamehmedovic who was named president of the network in August of last year.
Disney Entertainment Networks will also face workforce reductions amid low ratings, the sources said.
And, the right-wing new media's influence expands.
