Google Alert Showing Further CEN Stories Reviewed By Craig Silverman

This document is an 8 December 2014 Google Alert received by Craig Silverman containing CEN-linked Austrian Times stories about a child left in a coma and a police hunt for a man said to have run off with ten Asian children. It is included in the Source Library as source/evidence material connected to the BuzzFeed/CEN case and the later examination of how BuzzFeed’s published sample of CEN stories was assembled. It records further CEN-linked material being monitored or reviewed by Silverman months before publication, outside the final group of 41 stories later used by BuzzFeed to support its public fake-news percentages. It is relevant because it helps show that BuzzFeed’s final sample was drawn from a wider pool of CEN material being searched, filtered and assessed, while stories that did not support the fake-news narrative were not included in the published statistical picture.
