BuzzFeed News is shutting down as company cuts 15% of staff

A memo from BuzzFeed chief Jonah Peretti announced the closure of the once formidable unit Thursday. Peretti also said the New York-based media company is cutting 15% of its staff.

Buzzfeed News earned a Pulitzer Prize in 2021 for an investigative series exposing China’s mass detention of Muslims. But Buzzfeed’s content was edgier and aimed at a younger demographic of digital natives who embraced the company’s stories about culture and its “listicles” and puzzles.

Yet, they still screwed the pooch on the Steele Dossier. The Pulitzer is a biased prize anyway.

When is the Latimes blog shutting down?

The fallacy of getting a trophy means nothing.

Why weren't they making a profit?

It’s amazing all the people in this thread not knowing BuzzfeedNews was not the listicle site Buzzfeed

Pulitzer Prize is garbage. A club of state-affiliated Democrat Party activists masquerading as news awarding their best pushers of left wing government propaganda

Lol! Pulitzers mean nothing. News organizations routinely get Pulitzers for knowingly publishing lies. All that matters is the lies are in service to the regime

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

They published the FAKE DOSSIER that HillaryClinton was FINED for paying for. They are guilty of spinning AMERICA into turmoil for TWO YEARS and cost us $40 Mill for a USELESS MuellerReport

That's a shame. Some of their coverage was quite good. Buzzfeed itself though is a mishmash of Reddit and Tik Tok retreads these days.

Good riddance

🤣🤡

Really makes you wonder about Mr. Pulitzer’s judgement

They published a fake dossier.

Buzz feed is 💩

Let’s go!!! Who’s next?

So Pulitzers kinda don’t mean shit then

A little less fake news in the Internet now

They won a Pulitzer? What, for dynamiting their own reputation?

They give the Pulitzer to anybody nowadays.
