  "account": "On Thursday, People Inc. announced it was reducing its workforce by 195 employees across its print and legacy web divisions, according to a staff memo from CEO Neil Vogel. Vogel explained that the company is adapting to the rapid transformations in the media landscape by investing heavily in new ventures and aligning its strategies with the most promising opportunities. He emphasized that the majority of those affected are in the company's print and legacy web sectors, as they transition towards a more forward-looking future.\n\nPeople Inc. is responsible for numerous well-known publications, including People, Life, Food & Wine, Travel + Leisure, Better Homes and Gardens, Allrecipes, Southern Living, The Spruce, Health, Parents, InStyle, and Entertainment Weekly. Vogel maintained a positive outlook on the company's prospects and expressed confidence in their plans. To date, in 2026 alone, People Inc. has welcomed 320 new employees, bolstering its workforce and capabilities.\n\nThis reduction in staff marks approximately 6% of the company's overall workforce. The announcement comes a year after Barry Diller's digital media firm cut 226 jobs in an attempt to capitalize on emerging opportunities. Those layoffs occurred three months following Dotdash Meredith's rebranding in reference to its flagship magazine, People. The news was initially reported by The New York Times on Thursday, as first published by TheWrap.",
