Press Gazette — BuzzFeed Lawyers Accuse Press Gazette Of “Utterly False” Story In King Of Bullsh*t News Libel Case

Archived PDF capture of a Press Gazette article titled “Lawyers for Buzzfeed in ‘King of Bullshit News’ libel case accuse Press Gazette of running ‘utterly false story’.” The item records Press Gazette’s own coverage of the legal and media dispute surrounding the BuzzFeed/CEN libel case, including the point at which BuzzFeed’s lawyers accused Press Gazette of publishing an “utterly false story.” It is relevant to the Source Library because it shows that the dispute did not only involve BuzzFeed’s original allegations about CEN, but also extended into a wider media-law battle over how the case itself was reported, challenged and framed by other journalism trade publications. The capture is useful as background evidence for the book’s account of the pressure placed on Press Gazette, the attempts to contest or discredit reporting about the litigation, and the wider pattern of reputational narratives being fought not only in court filings but also through public media coverage. The PDF appears to preserve the Press Gazette headline and page link structure rather than a full clean article text, so it should be treated as a reference capture documenting the existence and framing of the Press Gazette item, with any detailed claims cross-checked against the underlying article or related court documents.
