G/O Media Shuts Down Feminist Website Jezebel After 16 Years and Failed Buyer Search; 23 Staffers Laid Off

After 16 years of operation, the feminist news and opinion website Jezebel is shutting down due to commercial failure. The site, launched by Gawker Media in 2007 and known for its controversial content, has been unable to secure a buyer, leading to its closure by current owner G/O Media. The shutdown has resulted in the loss of 23 jobs, including the entire editorial staff, marking a significant moment in the landscape of feminist media.
