- netfl0 6y agoWhat percentage of their content do you consider award winning?
- aboutBen 6y agoI don't consider any of their posts "award winning". They have had award winning reporting, including the National Press, the Sydney, and the Online Journalism Awards. They have also had reporting that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prizes in International Reporting.

- whywhywhywhy 6y agoWhat value does an award from journalists awarded to other journalists have?
- aboutBen 6y agoWhat value to the Oscars have or the Emmy? Peer-awards mean that your competitors think you've done a good job and recognize that. But even if you toss out peer-awards, Buzzfeed News has also won the Sydney award, which is awarded by the The Sidney Hillman Foundation, and was founded by the founding president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, hardly a "journalistic" venture.
