History

edit

BuzzFeed Newsbegan as a division ofBuzzFeedin December 2011 with the appointment ofBen SmithfromPoliticoas editor-in-chief.[8]In 2013,Pulitzer PrizewinnerMark SchoofsofProPublicawas hired as head of investigative reporting.[9]By 2016,BuzzFeed Newshad 20 investigative journalists.[10]The British division ofBuzzFeed Newswas headed byJanine Gibson,formerly ofThe Guardian.[11]Notable coverage included a 2012 partnership with theBBConmatch-fi xingin professional tennis, and inequities in the U.S.H-2 guest worker program,reporting of which won aNational Magazine Award.[10]

A 2017 study in the journalJournalism,which compared news articles by BuzzFeed andThe New York Times,found thatBuzzFeed Newslargely followed established rules of journalism. Both publications predominantly usedinverted pyramidnews format, and journalists' opinions were absent from the majority of articles of both. BothBuzzFeed Newsand theTimespredominantly covered government and politics, and predominantly used politicians, government, and law enforcement as sources. In contrast,BuzzFeed Newsdevoted more articles to social issues such as protests andLGBTissues, more frequently quoted ordinary people, less frequently covered crime and terrorism, and had fewer articles focusing on negative aspects of an issue.[12]

On July 18, 2018,BuzzFeed Newsmoved from a section of the BuzzFeed site to its own domain, BuzzFeedNews,[13]with a Trending News Bar and programmatic advertisements.[14][15]

In January 2019, it laid off 15% of its staff, putting an end to its national news desk.[16]

In May 2020, Smith leftBuzzFeed Newsto become a media columnist forThe New York Times.Schoofs succeeded him as editor-in-chief.[8]BuzzFeed announced that it would be closing its Australia and United Kingdom news operations.[17]

In March 2022, the company announced that it was in the process of cutting staff positions in an attempt to position itself for profitability. Editor-in-chief Mark Schoofs, deputy editor-in-chief Tom Namako, and executive editor of investigations Ariel Kaminer announced their departures. Staff buyout offers were made to reporters on the investigations, science, politics and inequality desks.[18]Approximately half of the company's 100 reporters were offered buyout deals.[19]

On April 20, 2023, BuzzFeed announced it would shut downBuzzFeed Newsas part of a 15% workforce cut. Approximately 180 jobs were at that time reported to have been expected to be cut,[needs update]and the shutdown was at that time reported to be expected to be gradual.[20]According toDigiday,changes to news-related policies of social media platforms such asFacebookwere indicated as a factor in the decision.[21][needs update]BuzzFeed, Inc. refocused news efforts intoHuffPost,also indicating that some employees previously hired atBuzzFeed Newsmay be rehired either there or at BuzzFeed.[5][6]

Editorial stance, coverage, and criticism

edit

BuzzFeed Newsstates in its editorial guide that "we firmly believe that for a number of issues, including civil rights, women's rights,anti-racism,andLGBT equality,there are not two sides "but also says that" when it comes to activism, BuzzFeed editorial must follow the lead of our editors and reporters who come out of a tradition of rigorous, neutral journalism that puts facts and news first. "[22]Some commentators have criticized BuzzFeed's editorial guide as internally inconsistent, arguing thatBuzzFeed Newscannot claims to be neutral while also endorsing positions on controversial political issues.[23][24]

The media watchdogFairness and Accuracy in Reportingfound that in 100 BuzzFeed stories aboutBarack Obamain 2016 (most fromBuzzFeed News,but also from the general BuzzFeed site), 65 were positive, 34 were neutral, and one was critical. The report described BuzzFeed's coverage of Obama "creepy" and "almost uniformly uncritical and often sycophantic".[25]

In June 2020,BuzzFeed Newssenior reporterRyan Broderickwas fired after it was revealed he had "plagiarized or misattributed information in at least 11 of his articles."[26]

Notable stories

edit

ISDS exposé

edit

On August 28, 2016,Chris Hambypublished a series of articles detailing how international investors were using theinvestor–state dispute settlement(ISDS) to "undermine domestic regulations and gut environmental laws at the expense of poorer nations".[27]Beginning with his article "The Court That Rules the World"[28]and continuing foran eight-article series,Hamby detailed alleged abuses of power of the court. The Pulitzer Prize nomination cited this as bringing attention to the court, and the articles were cited in a question to theEuropean Parliament.In the articles, Hamby dives into cases such asSajwani v. Egyptallowed investors who made deals with corrupt regimes to keep those deals after the fall of the regime. He also exposed how the threat of the court is used to prevent fines and expensive environmental cleanups, such as the leak of lead into the groundwater in Sitio del Niño,El Salvador.

The ISDS provisions were controversially included in NAFTA[29]and theTPP.[30]The former was stripped of its ISDS provisions and the latter was rejected by the United States.

Steele dossier

edit
Main article:Steele dossier

On January 10, 2017,CNNreported on the existence of classified documents that claimed Russia had compromising personal and financial information about President-electDonald Trump.Trump and President Barack Obama had both been briefed on the content of the dossier the previous week. CNN did not publish the dossier, or any specific details of the dossier, as they could not be verified. Later the same day,BuzzFeed Newspublished a 35-page dossier nearly in-full.[31][32]BuzzFeed Newssaid that the dossier was unverified and "includes some clear errors".[33]The dossier had been read widely by political and media figures in Washington. It previously had been sent to multiple journalists who had declined to publish it as unsubstantiated.[31]

The next day, Trump responded, calling the website a "failing pile of garbage" during a news conference.[34]The publication of the dossier was also met with criticism from, among others, CNN reporterJake Tapper,who called it irresponsible.[32]BuzzFeed Newseditor-in-chief Ben Smith defended the site's decision to publish the dossier.[35]

BuzzFeed Newsfaced at least two lawsuits as a result of publishing the dossier. In February 2017, Aleksej Gubarev, the Russian chief of the technology company XBT, and a figure named in the dossier, suedBuzzFeed Newsfordefamation.The suit centered on the allegations from the dossier that XBT had been "usingbotnetsand porn traffic to transmit viruses, plant bugs, steal data and conduct 'altering operations' against the Democratic Party leadership ".[36]In response, BuzzFeed redacted the name of the company and official in its published dossier.[37]In May 2017,Mikhail Fridman,Petr Aven,andGerman Khan– the owners ofAlfa Bank– filed a defamation lawsuit againstBuzzFeed Newsfor publishing the unverified dossier.[38][39]It alleged financial ties and collusion betweenPutin,Trump, and the three bank owners.[40][41]In January 2018, one year after the dossier became public, Trump's lawyerMichael D. Cohen,who was also named in the dossier, filed a defamation lawsuit againstBuzzFeed News.[42]The same day, Ben Smith again defended the publication in aNew York Timesop-ed, calling it "undoubtedly real news".[43][44]In February 2018,BuzzFeed Newssued theDemocratic National Committeeto obtain their internal investigation documents regarding the hack of their server during the presidential campaign in order for the journal to better defend itself against Gubarev's lawsuit.[45]In April 2018, Cohen dropped his defamation suit.[46]

Leaked Milo Yiannopoulos emails

edit

An exposé byBuzzFeed News,published on October 5, 2017, documented howBreitbart Newssolicited story ideas andcopy editsfromwhite supremacistsandneo-Nazis,withMilo Yiannopoulosacting as an intermediary. Yiannopoulos and otherBreitbartemployees developed and marketed the values and tactics of these groups, attempting to make them palatable to a broader audience. In the article,BuzzFeed Newssenior technology reporter Joseph Bernstein wrote thatBreitbartactively fed from the "most hate-filled, racist voices of thealt-right,"and helped normalize theAmerican far right.[47][48]

MSNBC'sChris Hayesranked the article as "one of the best reported pieces of the year".[49]TheColumbia Journalism Reviewdescribed the story as a scrupulous, months-long project and "the culmination of years of reporting and source-building on a beat that few thought much about until Donald Trump won the presidential election."[49]

Kevin Spacey sexual misconduct accusation

edit
See also:Weinstein effect

On October 29, 2017,BuzzFeed Newspublished the original story in which actorAnthony Rappaccused actorKevin Spaceyof making sexual advances toward him at a party in 1986, when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26.[50][51]Subsequently, numerous other men alleged that Spacey had sexually harassed or assaulted them.[52][53]As a result, Netflix indefinitely suspended production of Spacey's TV seriesHouse of Cards,and opted to not release his filmGoreon their service, although it was already in post-production at the time.[54][55]

Spacey was replaced withChristopher PlummerinRidley Scott's filmAll the Money in the World,which was six weeks from release.[56]

Michael Cohen story

edit

On January 17, 2019,BuzzFeed Newspublished an article in which the authors accused Trump of ordering his personal attorney,Michael Cohen,to lie to Congress about the timing of a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.[57][58]The article states that Trump was given updates by Cohen at least ten times and cites texts, messages, and emails as sources. In the day following the release of the report, many prominent Democrats called for impeachment if the accusations were true, including former attorney generalEric Holder.[59]

The office ofRobert Muellerdisputed the report on January 19, calling it "not accurate". With the release of theMueller reportin April 2019, the report found that while there was evidence that Trump was aware that Cohen had provided false testimony to Congress, "the evidence available to us does not establish that the President directed or aided Cohen's false testimony."[60]BuzzFeed Newsissued an update to their original story stating, "The Mueller Report found that Trump did not direct Michael Cohen to lie."[61][62]Ben Smith, then-editor-in-chief ofBuzzFeed News,responded by releasing notes from the FBI interview with Cohen, which said "Cohen told OSC (Mueller's office) he was asked to lie by DJT/DJT Jr., lawyers."[60]Smith said, "Our sources – federal law enforcement officials – interpreted the evidence Cohen presented as meaning that the president 'directed' Cohen to lie. We now know that Mueller did not."[60]
