How does it look like? At one point, The Onion was 200 people and had multiple publications. Our office is comically large relative to the size of our current staff. It's a pretty flat structure. Myself as running product, Alila running marketing, Ben as CEO. We've got Scott Kidder as CFO. We split time with him. He's fractional, I mean.

And everybody else, like they were already a well-oiled machine. So nothing has really changed on the editorial side.

It was something that we talked to with executive editor and two of the union shop stewards in our very first dinner out.

The end of slideshows were mentioned to like cheers of joy.

And it had been such a process for us to get through the transaction with Jeff and with Gio. For reasons I don't even remember, like I think we were supposed to announce to the staff on a Monday and it ended up taking until Thursday to get it all done. But, you know, the following Monday we came back in the office and they're just like back on their regular grind. They meet in the writer's room.

We did a little offsite with new executive team, Jeff, and the top of the editorial side of the business. We really did go through like, all right, what are our priorities and how do we want to tackle the next six months? And our goal is to keep the readers at the core of everything that we do and deliver the best user experience that we possibly can.
