BuzzFeed plans to lay off 84 workers at its Manhattan Flatiron District office by November, as part of broader company-wide cuts impacting various departments. These planned reductions follow earlier layoffs on August 24, which notably reduced HuffPost’s National desk to three reporters from seven after 10 members of the HuffPost Union were laid off.
