The Pulitzer Prize-winning BuzzFeed News will stop their operations as they remove 15% of their workforce or 180 employees.

“While layoffs are occurring across nearly every division, we’ve determined that the company can no longer continue to fund BuzzFeed News as a standalone organization,” as told by BuzzFeed’s chief executive officer Jonah Peretti.

“This made me slow to accept that the big platforms wouldn’t provide the distribution or financial support required to support premium, free journalism purpose-built for social media,” Peretti said.

BuzzFeed was founded in 2006 while BuzzFeed News was established on November 2011. They will prioritize their operations in the news force towards HuffPost, a news website that they have acquired in November 2020.
