So often in the last decade, whenever a major media company says it will engage in “cost cutting,” it’s the writers, editors, photojournalists, producers, etc. who bear the greatest brunt of these decisions, as opposed to the well-paid executives making them.
Granted, as a news organization, MTV News had been shuttered since 2023, but the site still maintained thousands of articles, columns, interviews, and features, showcasing a bevy of different artists and producers spanning several genres and generations. It also includes a litany of social and political journalism from perspectives that, at the time they were published, arguably couldn’t have been found anywhere else in mainstream media.
The content still on the sites run by Nickelodeon, BET and VH1, they are safe for now — but in lieu of Paramount’s merger deal going awry, it’s likely that BET and VH1 will be put back on the market, and with them, their online archives. Who knows what will happen then.: “As part of broader website changes across Paramount, we have introduced more streamlined versions of our sites, driving fans to Paramount+ to watch their favorite shows.
Understandably, this move has frustrated a number of MTV News alums whose work was purged from the internet without warning.
