PinkNews, one of the largest gay news organisations, is going to move to a ‘reporter free newsroom’ with redundancies across its editorial team, QueerAF understands
“Insiders close to the consultation have said they fear the new model will see the brand rely on clickbait, press releases packaged as news and advertorials to keep its website content offering running. The brand also generates substantial revenue from unbranded Snapchat channels, which QueerAF has been told posts content that is vastly contrary to the values it claims to have, a characterisation we understand the brand does not recognise.”
Based on that second sentence, it appears that PinkNews was just a garbage money-grubbing brand wrapped in a pride flag.

Well that’s not good
