BuzzFeed Picture Editor Asks CEN To Add Another Colleague To Its Email Alerts

This 14 July 2014 email records a BuzzFeed picture editor asking CEN to add another BuzzFeed colleague to the CEN email alerts, with CEN replying the same day: “Yeah will do.” The document is significant because it shows BuzzFeed still treating CEN as an ordinary editorial supplier in mid-2014, asking for internal staff access to CEN’s alert system several months after earlier buying and picture-licensing correspondence. In the wider evidence chain, it helps document the practical client relationship between BuzzFeed and CEN before the later allegations hardened: BuzzFeed staff were not merely aware of CEN from outside, but were actively seeking to receive its material through the agency’s regular distribution system. Read alongside the 2013 image-licensing records and the March 2014 request to add a UK news editor to CEN alerts, this item helps show a continuing pattern of BuzzFeed interest in CEN content before the same organisation later presented CEN as an unreliable supplier of viral material.
