Adweek magazine laid off diversity and inclusion reporter Mary Emily O’Hara, who started in February.

“My strongest skills stem from 15+ years of reporting and editing coverage of underrepresented communities, but I am also interested in branded content, affiliate link and partnership content, copywriting, diversity and inclusion consulting and community-building with purpose,” she said in a message.

O’Hara was previously an editor and reporter at Grindr’s LGBTQ news site INTO, which was shut down by the company in early 2019. She has also worked at NBC News, The Daily Dot, Vice Media and DNAInfo.

While at The Daily Dot, her 2016 coverage of emerging technology developments in transgender health care resulted in a Best Health Coverage award from the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association.
