New York-based Vox Media said Monday that it will end contracts with hundreds of freelance writers and editors in California who cover sports for the blog network SB Nation. The announcement comes following the company’s decision to comply with the AB5 law which was enacted this September.
Further, the company plans on creating a new team of SB Nation employees to cover California sports, which had been covered by independent contractors since 2003.
According to reports, Vox Media will slash 200 people, including non-California freelancers who cover teams based in the state, and replace them with 20 new part-time and full-time staffers.
The changes will also apply to Curbed and Eater, two other Vox Media sites that employ a few freelancers in the state.
