That article is an example of outstanding journalism.
It probably required tremendous amounts of writing ability, knowing the subject matter, spending hours and hours of research, being familiar with the industry, etc. Doesn't see this much these days. Too bad a lot of journalism died in 2008/2009 when journalists lost their jobs and newspapers were either bought by big players or simply went out of business.

- dvirsky 8y agoWhat I find a bit weird is that they don't split the brands of the main Buzzfeed stuff and the more serious journalism.
- mschuster91 8y agoIMHO it makes sense for Buzzfeed - the quality stuff makes readers go to the website, and then the reader can be led to the stuff like "21 Unintentionally Hilarious Knock-Off Halloween Costumes That Are Just MAYBE Better Than The Real Thing" in the "Read On" section.
- pentae 8y agoI bet BuzzFeed has a lot of really skilled digital ad guys on staff, maybe the Author is an expert in the field already.
