SoundCloud's Collapse

That's the second time this week I see Buzzfeed coming out with something that resembles decent journalism. Coincidence, or have they turned their ship around?

This is BuzzFeed News, which is run semi-independently from BuzzFeed itself and has actually had some decent quality journalism from the start.

Apparently this happened in 2016: http://www.poynter.org/2016/buzzfeed-undergoes-company-wide-...

Their investigations team is especially interesting: https://www.poynter.org/2016/how-buzzfeed-built-an-investiga...

I think it's more that they have a few good contributors in with the nonsense. For example, their Australian political coverage has consistently been surprisingly good.

Without reading a word of it, I imagine where it leans.

They have been doing this the last few years.

Indeed. I discovered this after a friend mentioned to me that Buzzfeed News was decent and, well, basically I didn't believe her so I went to check it out.

The first story I saw was breaking news of the Tianjin explosions and of course the story was so out there that, because it was Buzzfeed, I didn't believe it until I'd watched some of the footage and seen it reported elsewhere.

Anyway, yes, they are surprisingly decent.
