Mark Schoofs Social Media Promotion Of BuzzFeed CEN Story

This document is a BuzzFeed notification email with the subject “@SchoofsFeed retweeted Tweet you were mentioned in!”, connected to Mark Schoofs’ promotion of the BuzzFeed CEN story on social media after publication. It is included in the Source Library as source/evidence material connected to the BuzzFeed/CEN case and the later examination of how senior BuzzFeed figures helped amplify the published article. It records part of the post-publication promotion chain involving Schoofs, who was BuzzFeed’s investigations and special projects editor and was also involved in the CEN story before publication. It is relevant because it helps document that the CEN article was not simply published and left to stand on its own, but was actively promoted through senior BuzzFeed figures as part of the wider public narrative around CEN, fake news and MailOnline-linked viral content.
