"The Significance of Pitchfork's Demise in Online Media"
TL;DR
Anna Wintour, known for her trademark sunglasses, reportedly wore them during a meeting where she informed Pitchfork employees of their job losses as the music site merges with GQ under Condé Nast. The decision has sparked criticism from former staff members, including editor-in-chief Puja Patel and features editor Jill Mapes, who expressed disappointment. The move comes as part of Condé Nast's efforts to cut costs, with around half of Pitchfork's staff believed to have been laid off.
