NPR's chief executive announced the network would lay off roughly 10% of its current workforce – at least 100 people – and eliminate most vacant positions. Lansing blamed a slowdown in advertising dollars. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.NPR will cut 10% of its workforce, CEO John Lansing said Wednesday. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
That’s why, even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. It’s important that we have several ways we make money, just like it’s important for you to have a diversified retirement portfolio to weather the ups and downs of the stock market. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world - not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.įirst, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy.

“Youth unemployment is one of the most important challenges of our time,” the post reads. The company has a strong desire to engage with young professionals, and a company blog post Thursday confirmed that intention. In early July, LinkedIn used my profile data to predict my future career. Students are LinkedIn’s fastest growing user segment, and Thursday’s intern data dump isn’t the only recent project to come from the company’s data science team. The intern data is just one example of what LinkedIn can offer young professionals. The industries least likely to hire their interns: Nonprofit organization management and leisure and travel, both at 19 percent. Technical careers like those in computer networking (47 percent) and semiconductors (40 percent) were also near the top of the list, which included more than 65 industries. The industry with the best odds of landing a full-time gig after an internship: Accounting, with firms boasting a 59 percent intern retention rate. The company’s data science team pulled information from the site’s 300 million members to determine which industries offer the best internships - and by “the best” we mean those internships that actually lead to paying, full-time jobs at the end of the semester. What are the chances your internship will (literally) pay off? LinkedIn is putting some science behind the question.
