Richard James Asks To Be Removed From CEN Mailing List Despite Earlier BuzzFeed Alert Access

This 12 February 2015 email records BuzzFeed UK news editor Richard James asking to be removed from CEN’s mailing list. The document is significant because James had previously been added to CEN alerts at BuzzFeed’s request, and this later unsubscribe request confirms that CEN material was being sent directly to a senior BuzzFeed UK editorial figure before publication of BuzzFeed’s later allegations about the agency. In the wider evidence chain, it should be read alongside the March 2014 request to add James to CEN alerts and the October 2014 Rosalyn Warren unsubscribe email, because together they show that named BuzzFeed staff had practical access to CEN’s regular editorial feed while other parts of the BuzzFeed investigation later appeared to be reconstructing, locating or assessing CEN content from outside. The document is useful because it records a routine mailing-list removal request, not a complaint about fabrication, reliability or misconduct, and it helps show the gap between BuzzFeed’s later investigative posture and the internal reality that CEN content had already been reaching BuzzFeed editorial staff.
