BuzzFeed (BZFD, $5.01) is cutting its workforce of news division
BuzzFeed is shrinking its workforce and shifting the focus of its news division as the digital media company, in a bid to boost its profitability.
The company is offering voluntary buyouts in its 100-person newsroom and some top editors are leaving. They include Mark Schoofs, the editor in chief of BuzzFeed News, Ariel Kaminer, the executive editor for investigations, and deputy editor in chief Tom Namako, who announced a move to NBC News Digital on Tuesday.
