Buzzfeed - latest news, breaking stories and comment
Latest London news, business, sport, showbiz and entertainment from the London Evening Standard.
www.standard.co.ukHere’s the latest on BuzzFeed based on recent reporting up to 2023-04 era, since I don’t currently have live access to fetch fresh updates:
- BuzzFeed News was shuttered as part of broader corporate cost-cutting, with the company planning to focus its news efforts on HuffPost. That restructuring involved significant layoffs across BuzzFeed and a move to preserve and continue reporting from BuzzFeed properties in other brands.[2][5]
- The company reported around 180 employees affected by the cuts, equivalent to roughly 15% of its workforce at the time, with continuing investments in other divisions like HuffPost and BuzzFeed.com.[5][2]
- The broader BuzzFeed corporate actions in that period included reductions across business, content, tech, and admin teams, and confirmation that BuzzFeed News would be wound down while existing reporting would be preserved within the BuzzFeed network.[1][2][5]
