Changes are coming to the online media outlet The Recount, as Axios reports that they’re planning to restructure its business.
As a result, cuts are expected in the next few weeks, and its chief content officer Ryan Kadro has left the company after coming aboard last October, which was announced during an all-staff meeting.
Furthermore, Axios states that Kadro and their board have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately. The reported reason for these cuts is the reevaluating strategies The Recount is doing as it looks to build a new leadership team.
Launching in 2019, the outlet had plans to raise money in the near future, but those goals have been put on hold. Kadro, a longtime television news producer, oversaw the company’s day-to-day editorial strategy and programming since coming aboard.
The Recount focuses on short-form political videos across streaming and social media, and their main focus was on politics. Still, since President Joe Biden took office, the company has widened its emphasis to broader video news as the appetite for political content has waned in the Biden era.
