- ar_lan 3y agoI'd be curious on data for this - if that's actually true, or just your perception. Not wanting "BuzzFeed" to be someone's source of journalism is not the same thing as that person not wanting to consume high-quality journalism/news. That said, I could understand the argument that if someone is generally well-read in this world, they would definitely know BuzzFeed News was, for the most part, a separate entity. I can only speak for myself - I'm fairly happy with my mix of Propublica, The Economist, USA Today, and NYT, but I've also not really analyzed that mix much since 2019, and I definitely don't read everything all the time (it's too much to consume).
- JohnFen 3y agoHuh? I'm very familiar with ProPublica, but didn't know that Buzzfeed News was a legit journalistic organization. I just thought it was, you know, Buzzfeed's take on news.
