The technology editor and a tech reporter at Newsweek were among those laid off by the magazine on Friday.
The layoffs come a day after layoffs at sister publication International Business Times cut its business and tech news staff.

Burningham had been at the magazine since October 2015.
Tech reporter Seung Y. Lee had also been at the magazine since October 2015. He report daily for Newsweek’s website on technology, ranging from cybersecurity, startups and privacy, and San Francisco and California issues.
Lee wrote one magazine piece on the FAA’s attempt at regulating hobby drones and its legality.
He had graduated from Cal-Berkeley in 2014.
