The digital news company Mic has laid off most of its staff, a spokesperson for the company confirmed.The layoffs were first reported Thursday by Recode. It is not yet clear exactly how many employees were affected. Mic declined to comment beyond confirming the Recode report.The company was founded in 2011, and for the past several years has branded itself as a news website geared toward millennials.Mic Publisher Cory Haik also resigned Thursday. In a note to staff that was obtained by CNN Business, Haik called journalism a "tough business.""Our business models are unsettled, and the macro forces at play are all going through their own states of unrest," she wrote. "If anyone tells you they have it figured out, a special plan to save us all, or that it's all due to a singular fault, know that is categorically false. Like the truth, it is indeed complicated."Mic was once a digital media darling, attracting around million in funding from investors. Its biggest backers included Lightspeed Venture Partners, Clark Jermoluk Founders Fund, WPP and WarnerMedia. (WarnerMedia owns CNN.)The company's staff swelled to more than 100 people by early 2016, according to The New York Times, which asked in an article published at the time: "What happens when millennials run the workplace?"But the climate is a tough one for digital media publishers right now. Ad revenue alone hasn't been enough to support these businesses, and Google and Facebook have substantial control over the ad market.Refinery29, HuffPost and Vocativ have all cut staff in the past year. So have CNN Digital, Vice and BuzzFeed.Mic laid off 25 employees in August 2017 as part of a pivot to video. Co-founder and CEO Chris Altchek told staff at the time that the shift was needed because "visual journalism already makes up 75% of the time that our audience spends" with the site.There were signs this year that the environment wasn't improving for Mic. Digiday reported in April that traffic to Mic's website had been plunging.The article also noted that Mic was very reliant on Facebook, citing statistics that showed views on the social media site fell to 11 million views in March compared to 192 million about a year earlier.Still, company executives pushed back on some reports that characterized the situation at Mic as particularly dire. When the Columbia Journalism Review reported in September that the company's board discussed a possible shutdown, Altchek called the report "categorically false."Emily Singer, a senior political reporter at Mic, tweeted Thursday that she was leaving the company."I'm so proud of what we've accomplished here," Singer wrote.Kerry Lauerman, Mic's executive news director, tweeted about the "gutting experience" Thursday."But only love for the extremely resilient and open-hearted team of Mic editors, producers, writers and shooters I had the great honor of working with," he added. "They performed brilliantly often under a cloud of uncertainty."Reached by phone, Lauerman declined to comment further, saying only that the team was packing up all of their things.Several other employees also tweeted news of their departures."I have so much to say, but most importantly the time I spent at @mic was the best of my career," wrote Managing Editor Colleen Curry. "I learned so, so much from brilliant people dedicated to keeping journalism alive."Mic is also in talks to sell at least part of the company to Bustle Digital Group, Recode reported Wednesday. A source with knowledge of the potential deal confirmed that report to CNN Business. 3572

He's also played notable roles in the films "Corvette Summer," "The Big Red One," "Slipstream," "Kingsman: The Secret Service" and the upcoming "Brisby Bear."On Broadway, Hamill flexed his acting reach in productions of "The Elephant Man," "Amadeus," "The Nerd," and "Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks."Hamill had some fun with TV host Jimmy Kimmel Wednesday on "Jimmy Kimmel: Live," where he cleared a little room from his place on the Walk of Fame."Well, I just picked out my spot for the star. I'm getting it ready for tomorrow," Hamill, with a jackhammer in hand, tells Kimmel before the camera pans down to reveal Kimmel's own star demolished. "Hey Jimmy I got an idea, why don't you put your star in front of Hooters?"However, Hamill's work extends past entertainment. The actor has been involved with charitable work with NAI (USC Neighborhood Academic Initiative), the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Feeding America.  1579

The Democratic National Committee chairman assured supporters Thursday that a scaled-down convention would go on as scheduled in August in Milwaukee, Wisconsin."From the very beginning of this pandemic, Democrats have put the health and safety of the American people first. Unlike Trump, we followed the science, listened to doctors and public health experts, and worked through plans to protect lives," DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in a series of tweets. "That's how we made the decision to hold a responsible convention that will bring our country together, ensure our delegates can take care of official business without risk to public health, and still shine a spotlight on our host community of Milwaukee."In June, DNC leaders announced plans to transform the convention amid the pandemic, moving it from the Fiserv Forum, a 17,000-seat arena, to Wisconsin Center, a convention center. The DNC also advised state delegates to not travel to Milwaukee.Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden still plans to accept the nomination in Milwaukee. The DNC is slated to begin Aug. 17. 1089

The coronavirus pandemic put the country on pause, but now that some cities and states are opening back up, what will that mean for the future of events?Kamron Khan has a lot of thoughts about that question. The professional photographer owns Kamron Khan Photography based in Cleveland and usually photographs large events, with hundreds of people that are booked a year or more in advance.That was until the novel coronavirus pandemic hit, and suddenly she found that one event after the next was rescheduled indefinitely or canceled all together.“It’s been really tough from thinking I was going to have one of my best years ever to no income,” said Khan.Everything from the 2020 Olympics to the remainder of the NBA season, the lights of Broadway to the lights of Hollywood – big events, and events that are only big to those involved have been postponed or canceled around the world.Khan, despite the drop in income, said she understands the caution.“I'm very concerned because I get a lot of these events that people are having, are big life moments - weddings to baby showers - you have all of these different types of things and you want to celebrate and I get that, but sometimes people just need to take a step back and realize ‘Hey you know what, why don't we celebrate next year? Why don’t we just keep it small, wait for things to die down?’ And I in no way think anyone's overreacting, but I would rather overreact and cancel things now than to have things go downhill and then it be much worse,” said Khan.She said right now she has a hard time imagining when events with hundreds of people will be commonplace again.“Right now, I can't until [infections] really change and really start going down in a downward trend. I can't even think about having these large gatherings and I think a lot of people don't want to anyway. Even if we were allowed to,” said Khan.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidance about big gatherings now and in the future. The CDC suggests that event organizers do things like provide supplies to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including hand sanitizer and disposable facemasks. The CDC also urged event organizers to discourage people who are vulnerable to the disease -- like older adults – from coming to events at all.The guidance also states that, “Organizers should continually assess, based on current conditions, whether to postpone, cancel, or significantly reduce the number of attendees (if possible) for mass gatherings.”Nick Borelli, a marketing and live event expert, said that at least in the next year or so, people should expect to see smaller, more local events. He said those first events will also likely have cultural significance – like a city’s celebration or a big concert – rather than a conference or trade show.Borelli also said that in order for people to gain confidence going to events again, any initial events would need to be successful - with no new infection clusters.“If [cultural events] happen, it will just happen with an increased amount of trust, knowing that people want things to be the way that they were. So there is the push for what the bias is a confirmation bias. They want things to be that way, they're just looking for it,” said Borelli.He also said that as far as virtual events go, it’s easy to see which events will likely stay virtual in the future by looking at how different industries are planning right now.“Weddings are being postponed with the hopes to come back as they were,” said Borelli. “Corporate is making a move to adjust things to the cliché of new normal, which at the very least, be a world of hybrid [partially online and partially in person] for quite some time and probably sticking to a percentage of that.”Those virtual events offer their own unique challenges and triumphs. There isn’t that real, in-person interaction, but there is the potential to reach more people who may not have been able to take time off or afford to go to a conference.Borelli also said right now offers a great opportunity to gather data about the events that are happening online right now – to better see what things work better virtually.“I think that depending on the data that we collect in this time, and then also in the time that comes next, we can potentially prove our value in a black and white way that we never able to before,” said Borelli.For those in the event industry right now Borelli acknowledged that there is pain and not everyone will survive. And for those who do survive, it will look and be different for a long time.Khan said her new normal will – among other things – mean wearing a mask for the foreseeable future.“For myself, I'll definitely be wearing a mask whether I'm photographing people inside or outside, I just want to,” said Khan. “Not just protect myself, but I want to show others how people look at me and realize I'm doing everything that I need to be doing.” 4928

The coronavirus pandemic has been responsible for more police officer deaths in the line of duty than any other cause combined in 2020, according to a non-profit dedicated to fallen police officers.According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, 101 police officers across the country have died after contracting COVID-19 while on the job. Eighty-two other police officers have been killed by other causes in the line of duty in 2020.A second non-profit, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF), lists around 110 officer deaths linked to COVID-19.Both Officer Down and NLEOMF only count officers who were known to contract the virus while in the line of duty and review each case before adding it to their count. Officer Down says it is reviewing an additional 150 fatal cases of COVID-19 that may be added to the count in the future."By the end of this pandemic, it is very likely that COVID will surpass 9/11 as the single largest incident cause of death for law enforcement officers," Officer Down executive director Chris Cosgriff told The Washington Post.Officer Down reports that 73 police officers died on Sept. 11, 2001 in the terrorist attacks, and more than 300 have died of cancer linked to recovery efforts in the years since.According to NLEOMF, the state with the most police officer deaths linked to COVID-19 is Texas, where 24 officers have died since the pandemic began. Another 12 police have died after contracting the virus in nearby Louisiana. Officer Down also reports that non-coronavirus related police officer deaths in the line of duty are down in 2020, despite widespread civil unrest. Thirty-one police have died from gunfire this year, the second-leading cause of death among officers in the line of duty. Another four officers have died as a result of "inadvertent" gunfire.President Donald Trump has repeatedly pushed the narrative that police officers across the country are under "assault" by left-wing activists throughout the 2020 presidential campaign.Earlier this year, Trump signed the Safeguarding America's First Responders Act of 2020, which offers federal benefits to the families of police officers killed by COVID-19. 2187
