What’s happening at BuzzFeed News

Tuesday, February 19, 2019

Noon 1:30 p.m.

Wallis Annenberg Hall (ANN), 106


Publishing the Trump dossier. Revealing searing #MeToo allegations against singer R. Kelly. Exposing millennial burnout. Pioneering new shows such as the morning show AM2DM on Twitter. Despite tough economics, BuzzFeed News has been one of the most innovative and hard-hitting all-digital news organizations in the world.

Shani Hilton has been with BuzzFeed almost from the moment it started its news division. As VP of News and Programming, she now oversees more than 200 journalists, maintains the company’s editorial standards, and has led efforts to diversity BuzzFeed News’ revenue through shows and programming with a large focus in live video, including AM2DM and PROFILE on Facebook Watch.

She’ll talk about BuzzFeed News with Professor Mark Schoofs, who until recently led BuzzFeed News’ investigations team.
