This 22 April 2015 email chain concludes BuzzFeed’s attempt to use Juliane Leopold, founding editor of BuzzFeed Deutschland, for Austrian charity checks connected to Helfen Wir and Journalists Without Borders. Leopold says she has still not reached Hannes Urban by phone, that the number goes straight to fax, and that she has emailed asking for contact details. She offers only a cautious personal impression that one charity collecting donations for another would seem “pretty weird” and “not so common” in Germany, while making clear this is just a “notion”. She also says she is busy running the German site and suggests a freelance translator if BuzzFeed needs more help. Craig Silverman thanks her, says he will contact the freelancer if they decide to pursue it further, and Leopold signs off by congratulating him on “BF Canada”. The document is significant because, two days before publication, the Austrian/JWB line still appears unresolved and BuzzFeed’s German-language help had produced little beyond failed calls, a cautious impression and a freelancer suggestion. It is also useful because it shows Silverman being recognised at that point through his BuzzFeed Canada role, rather than any non-BuzzFeed credential.
