Nikon Corporation has announced that they’ve reduced the number of employees in their Imaging business by 700 at its factories in Thailand and Laos – around 10% of their workforce in each of those locations. Nikkei reports that Nikon has been laying off the staff under “early retirement” since last Autumn.

Nikon is now looking towards the future, stating that they will “optimise according to the production scale” (downsize) depending on the influence the coronavirus pandemic has on their business going forward.

Almost a year ago to date, Sports Illustrated cut all staff photographers from its payroll, opting instead to rely on freelancers for images—a move that naturally came with plenty of criticism.

Since then things have been mostly silent on the employment front, but the Time Inc. franchise is back at it again.

New reports say that Sports Illustrated Director of Photography Brad Smith and Photo Editors Clair Bourgeois and John Blackmar will be laid off as part of a larger restructuring plan.
