Rumor is six people got laid off from AVN this week. Trying to get the names from anyone working there was just not going to happen for me. So I took a different tactic.
I took AVN’s current online masthead of employees and matched it against the printed masthead in the newest issue of each of their magazines. Now this is certainly not the best way to find out who is no longer there, and probably won’t be 100% accurate.
So all I’m going to say is the following people ( in red) are missing from AVN’s online masthead list. Draw your own conclusions.
