You mean the reputable journalists at BuzzFeed?
- tozeur 7y agoApparently they’ve evolved quite a bit: https://www.pulitzer.org/finalists/chris-hamby-buzzfeed-news https://www.pulitzer.org/finalists/chris-hamby-buzzfeed-news
- Gigablah 7y agoNo, the reputable journalists at BuzzFeed News, which has produced two Pulitzer Prize finalists so far. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BuzzFeed_News https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BuzzFeed_News
- jcaprani 7y agoI think you mean activists rather than journalists.
- otalp 7y agoAny writer of news someone doesn't like can be an "activist" rather than a journalist, it's a pointless distinction
- sitkack 7y agoPlease don't.
- thereare5lights 7y agoThose two things aren't mutually exclusive.
- shakna 7y agoBuzzFeed News is not BuzzFeed. They've won several well-deserved journalistic awards.
- viraptor 7y agoBuzzFeed is quite different from BuzzFeedNews which produces higher quality content. Very unfortunate naming and we go through that exchange on hn every time they get linked.
- AmericanChopper 7y agoAs we should. Reputation is the best tool we have for tracking credibility throughout society. As a pioneer of clickbait garbage, Buzzfeed has a deservedly poor reputation, and a little bit of brand diversification doesn’t change that. If the Sackler family started opening rehab clinics, it wouldn’t change my opinion on what a bunch of scumbags they are.
