Condé Nast Is Folding Pitchfork Into GQ, With Layoffs Multiple employees at the storied music criticism site “will be leaving the company,” according to a memo from Anna Wintour.

Pitchfork, the renowned music criticism site, is undergoing a significant change as it merges with GQ, a popular men's magazine owned by Condé Nast. This move comes with unfortunate layoffs, as multiple employees are expected to leave the company. The decision to fold Pitchfork into GQ was announced in a memo from Anna Wintour, the influential editor-in-chief of Vogue and artistic director of Condé Nast.

Pitchfork has long been recognized as a leading voice in music journalism, known for its thoughtful reviews, in-depth interviews, and coverage of both established and emerging artists. The merger with GQ presents an opportunity to expand its reach and engage with a wider audience. However, the news of layoffs is undoubtedly disheartening for the talented individuals who have contributed to Pitchfork's success over the years.
