About

Outside Inc., a media company that bundles 36 publishers including titles like Outside Magazine, Backpacker, and Ski, laid off approximately 15% of its workforce, affecting 85 to 90 employees out of a total of 580. The layoffs, announced on Friday, are part of a restructuring to transition into a primarily digital company, driven by a softening advertising market and an ambitious expansion during the pandemic era. As part of this shift, the company will phase out three print titles—Beta, Peloton, and Oxygen—over the next six months and reduce the print frequency of most other publications to just one or two special issues per year, with the exception of its flagship Outside Magazine.
