LAist laid off eight employees Tuesday as it contends with ongoing financial challenges, including President Donald Trump’s recent order to eliminate federal funding for public media.
It’s the third round of staff reductions in three years at Los Angeles’ largest NPR station and amounts to a 5% staff reduction. Since 2023, LAist has slashed 61 positions through buyouts and terminations.
