1. Microsoft laying dozens of Journalists & COVID 19 is not the reason for this layoff

Tech giant Microsoft is laying off several journalists at its Microsoft News and MSN Organization (Microsoft owns MSN.com). However, this lay off has nothing to do with ongoing coronavirus crises, which is proving to be a major drag for the global economy. Microsoft has taken this decision in order to give a major push to artificial intelligence (AI) in picking news and content on its various platforms, which has now led to job cuts at MSN and other Microsoft subsidiaries that deal with news and content.
