Citysearch Lays Off Editorial Employees, Less Than 3% Of Staff

We've just gotten word that local online guide Citysearch has just laid off part of its editorial department in an continuing effort to reposition itself. The Citysearch business unit of IAC recently rebranded itself as CityGrid Media, which includes the Citysearch listings service, the CityGrid ad network, Urbanspoon and InsiderPages. Kara Nortman, Senior Vice President of Publishing for CityGrid Media, tells TechCrunch that layoffs are an outgrowth of the philosophical restructuring of the group's editorial component, "As part of our evolution to CityGrid, we're moving to a more automated experience on Citysearch, migrating from full time staff into freelance staff."
