Bloomberg Axe Falls At Business Week, Jon Fine Out

Bloomberg, which acquired Business Week last month, announced this week that they were looking to layoff 100 positions or 25% of its staff. Judging from Twitter it looks like the layoffs took place today (h/t FishbowlNY).

Included in the list of those leaving in addition to BW editor Stephen Adler, are community manager Shirley Brady, technology writer Stephen Baker, department editor Lauren Young, and staff writer Amy Choi. Also not returning is media columnist Jon Fine (side note: Fine is married to my former employer Laurel Touby), who twittered the news earlier today.
