Senior writer Ingram among those laid off at Fortune

Mathew Ingram

Mathew Ingram, a senior writer at Fortune magazine, was among those laid off earlier this week as part of Time Inc.’s pruning of 300 jobs, or 4 percent of its workforce.

At Fortune, Ingram wrote about the evolution of media and the social Web.

Until March 2015, Ingram was a senior writer at Gigaom.com, one of the leading technology blog networks in the United States, based in San Francisco and founded in 2006 by former Forbes and Business 2.0 writer Om Malik.

At Gigaom, he wrote about the evolution of media and content and all that involves, including social media, Google, and the web in general.

Ingram also worked for The Globe and Mail, a newspaper based in Toronto.  He was the Globe’s first “communities editor,” a new position aimed at helping make it easier for readers to interact with the paper and its writers and content.

Ingram is a graduate of Ryerson University.
