Buzz Media Cuts Staff at Music Blog Idolator to One

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on April 27, 2009 - 7:54am.
Los Angeles - Entertainment and pop culture blog network Buzz Media laid off virtually all of those involved with its Idolator music blog, leaving founding editor Maura Johnston to operate the site "as a solo project of sorts," according to a post on Idolator.com from Johnston.

"As you might have noticed, this is a bittersweet week around here; because of budget cuts, we've had to say goodbye to pretty much all the Idolator contributing writers, from columnists to daily bloggers," Johnston wrote, adding that going forward, "the news cycle might run at a slightly slower pace."

Los Angeles-based Buzz Media, which operates more than 40 entertainment sites including Stereogum and Just Jared, laid off 20% of its staff earlier this month.

The layoffs came less than a month after the company raised $12.5 million in new financing.
