DC divisions to be 'weighted equally'

DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson has said that the firm's New York and LA offices will be "weighted equally".

In an interview with CBR, the exec indicated that the company's publishing and media divisions will remain of equal importance following recently-announced changes to its infrastructure.

"What I can say is that the Los Angeles and New York offices will generally be weighted equally, meaning one is not a satellite of the other, or will not be," she said. "How that sorts out in detail we need a bit more time to get to first."

Nelson went on to say that the firm is in the process of talking to its workforce to discuss their individual positions following the restructuring. She confirmed that there will be promotions, offers of relocation and some layoffs.

"What we're beginning today is a pretty unique process of talking with all of our employees personally, one-on-one, over the course of the next few days to work with them on each of their individual positions," she explained. "So there's a spectrum of things that are happening for various employees - there are promotions, there are offers of relocation and unfortunately there are some layoffs to come.

"Until that's all sorted and people have had time to consider their individual opportunities and we confirm all that, which will take us a few weeks, we aren't going to be able to discuss specifics."

Yesterday, DC Entertainment announced plans to relocate to Burbank, CA. Its comics division will remain in New York.
