BuzzFeed's Layoff of Staffers

In December BuzzFeed cut 12% of its workforce variety reported which came after BuzzFeed news was cut by 1.7 and my confused is there a larger parent corporation to this? That's what I was wondering when they kept saying like they're not getting rid of everybody they're just I don't know reshuffling or somethingI think somebody owns vice or this is but it's easy. There has to be the way this article's sounding. Is it surprising to you that a journalist at USA Today didn't give us this clear information?
