Summary

[edit source]

Editors find the quality of BuzzFeed articles to be highly inconsistent. Respondents to a 2014 survey from the Pew Research Center on news sources in America ranked BuzzFeed at the bottom of the list.[1] BuzzFeed may use A/B testing for new articles, which may cause article content to change.[2] BuzzFeed operated a separate news division, BuzzFeed News, which had higher editorial standards and was hosted on a different website. See also: BuzzFeed News.

Excerpt

[edit source]
Excerpt from the lead of BuzzFeed:

BuzzFeed, Inc. is an American Internet media, news, and entertainment company with a focus on digital media. Based in New York City, BuzzFeed was founded in 2006 by Jonah Peretti and John S. Johnson III to focus on tracking viral content. Kenneth Lerer, co-founder and chairman of The Huffington Post, started as a co-founder and investor in BuzzFeed and is now the executive chairman.

Summary

[edit source]

There is consensus that BuzzFeed News is generally reliable. BuzzFeed News operated separately from BuzzFeed, and most news content originally hosted on BuzzFeed was moved to the BuzzFeed News website in 2018.[3] In light of the staff layoffs at BuzzFeed in January 2019, some editors recommend exercising more caution for BuzzFeed News articles published after this date. The site's opinion pieces should be handled with WP:RSOPINION. BuzzFeed News shut down in May 2023, and its archives remain accessible.[4] See also: BuzzFeed.
