Hearst Magazines, which publishes popular titles like Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping and Esquire, is doing what a lot of media has found inescapable at the end of 2024: firing employees. Named after one of the first media moguls who at one time controlled newspapers and radio stations from New York to San Francisco – William Randolph Hearst – the magazine publisher is firing almost 200 employees, most of them at its Manhattan headquarters, The New York Post reported.
The Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) revealed the exact number to be 197 Hearst employees and that, “most affected workers are based at Hearst Tower” on 8th Avenue and 57th Street on Manhattan’s West Side. The Hearst Tower was actually built on the old Hearst Magazine Building which dated back to the halcyon days of Hearst media.
Hearst Magazine president Debi Chirichella announced the firings last week. “After a thorough review of our business, we’ve decided to reallocate resources to better support our goals and continue our focus on digital innovation while strengthening our best in class print products,” Chirichella told staff in a memo that was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
“We will scale back in areas that do not support our core strategy and will eliminate certain positions as we reimagine our team structures to drive long-term growth.” She did not say where exactly the axe would fall and how many employees would lose their jobs. “These changes will enable us to take care of our business for the long term,” she wrote.
“We’ll prioritize areas where we can deliver the highest impact and drive growth and continue to focus on producing the highest-quality storytelling, advertising solutions, and digital experiences.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
