Men’s Journal cutting staff, moving operation

Men’s Journal is cutting all of its editorial staff and relocating the operation to Carlsbad, California, the New York Post reports.

The move should happen by the end of May, the Post said.

The publication was bought by American Media in 2017.

Around 20 editorial employees will be laid off, the paper said.

American Media recently sold Muscle & Fitness, Flex and Muscle & Fitness Hers and the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding competition to businessman Jake Wood for some $70 million, the Post said. The titles are going all digital in the wake of the sale.

American Media owns US Weekly and In Touch, among other titles. Its majority owner is Chatham Asset Management. Its recent efforts to sell the National Enquirer have hit snags, the Post has reported.
