Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera is slashing 500 jobs, attributed to a changing media landscape.
The majority of the cuts will be based in Qatar.
“In order to support the long-term sustainability and market leadership of Al Jazeera while continuing our recognized commitment to high quality, independent and hard-hitting journalism around the world, we have embarked on a workforce optimization initiative,” acting director general Mostefa Souag said in a statement.
The cuts follow the announcement in January to close Al Jazeera America in April, after it struggled to attract viewers.
Al Jazeera employs about 4,500 people.
