This internal BuzzFeed disclosure document shows Alan Philps, then editor of Chatham House’s The World Today magazine and formerly foreign editor at The Daily Telegraph, replying to Robert Colvile on 1 May 2015 about Central Europe and Mike Leidig. Philps tells Colvile that he could contact Francis Harris, who had been deputy foreign editor at The Daily Telegraph in 2003/04, saying Harris “had more experience with Leidig than me.” He also says he will provide another name in due course. The document is significant because it shows BuzzFeed continuing to seek background material on Leidig and CEN after publication of The King of Bullsht News*. The suggested contact, Francis Harris, was connected to an earlier Telegraph dispute involving Leidig, CEN, John Cleese, Richard Desmond and Axel Springer. That episode later mattered because BuzzFeed appeared to have picked up a vague suggestion that Leidig had been “fired” or blacklisted by The Telegraph, when the underlying issue was a dispute over agency/freelance status, syndication arrangements and whether a John Cleese interview could be placed elsewhere after The Telegraph declined to use it. The document is also useful because it shows how informal background routes fed into BuzzFeed’s understanding of CEN. Philps does not provide substantive detail in this email, but he points Colvile towards Harris as someone with greater direct experience of Leidig. In the wider disclosure context, that matters because Harris later became relevant to the way BuzzFeed interpreted the Telegraph episode, while the underlying facts were more complicated than a simple claim that Leidig had been dropped for wrongdoing.
