Buzzfeed to formally launch Australian operation with January event
Lamb
Cult viral content site BuzzFeed will formally launch its Australian operations by hosting an event called “Where is journalism heading in 2014” in conjunction with the Walkley Foundation on January 31.
The event to be hosted at the Museum of Contemporary Art, will see Media Watch host Paul Barry in conversation with BuzzFeed’s vice president of international Scott Lamb.
Other panelists for the event will announced in the new year, with the focus of the discussion around where the media is heading in 2014.
” an event called “Where is journalism heading in 2014″
Shouldn’t that be: “You won’t believe the 14 insane directions journalism is heading in 2014.”
This is great news! It will be interesting to see how Australia is evolving in the digital world.
I would click ‘like’ on the comment above if I could. Instead, I’ll just share this , which pretty much sums things up http://www.theonion.com/articl.....u-r,32557/
It’s strange that Buzzfeed are considered as involved in journalism.
‘science and art of sharing’ doesn’t sound like it’s about reporting, editorial and news.
Read an interesting blog article last week about some of the different clickbait formulas these content sites use to lure viewers.
