This document is a BuzzFeed email with the subject “Interview Request”, connected to Alan White’s attempt to arrange an interview with Michael Leidig about CEN before publication of The King Of Bullsht News*. It is included in the Source Library as source/evidence material connected to the BuzzFeed/CEN case and the later examination of how BuzzFeed approached CEN while preparing its article. It records part of the contact in which BuzzFeed presented the proposed story as an interest in CEN’s mix of viral news and serious investigative journalism, rather than as the hostile fake-news investigation that later emerged. It is relevant because it helps document the gap between the way the approach to CEN was framed at the time and the public narrative BuzzFeed later published, as well as the wider chronology of BuzzFeed’s pre-publication contact with the agency.
