The media industry is rapidly changing, and layoffs at traditional print organizations have been becoming more frequent in recent years.

On Thursday, Deadspin and The Wall Street Journal both reported that Sports Illustrated is expected to layoff up to half of its writing staff.

Per Deadspin’s report, staffers received two batches of emails and are expecting that one group will be safe and one will be fired:

Late Wednesday night, SI staffers received emails telling them to report to a “transition meeting” on Thursday. Staffers compared the emails and quickly realized that there are two separate meetings, at different times, and they fear that one of the groups (“Thanos-like”) will be given pink slips, with the other told it is safe.

TheMaven, which is now running Sports Illustrated, is expected to hire contract workers to fill out the writing staff after the layoffs.

No news on who has been let go has been released yet, but it’s a sad day for Sports Illustrated.
