The struggling LGBTQ+ media brand is asking staff to take voluntary redundancies

PinkNews has announced proposals to make up to 11 of its remaining 25 staff redundant and close its offices. The move follows changes to the Snapchat Discover page, where the publisher has 2.8 million followers. In a document sent to staff, it sets out that they anticipate that changes to the platform will lead to a fall in revenue by 80-90%, which represents a large majority of the publisher’s overall revenue
