BuzzFeed Muslim Stories Article Shows Tom Phillips Reusing Press Gazette Research To Attack The Tabloids

This archived screenshot preserves the BuzzFeed article “Inaccurate Or Misleading News Stories About Muslims Have Been Shared Hundreds Of Thousands Of Times This Year”, co-bylined by Aisha Gani and Tom Phillips. The item is significant because it forms part of the wider evidence chain around Phillips’s anti-tabloid posture and BuzzFeed UK’s repeated criticism of the Daily Mail, The Sun, The Express and The Mirror. The article presented itself as “research by BuzzFeed News”, but the underlying issue had already been reported months earlier by Press Gazette, drawing on complaints work by Miqdaad Versi, later acknowledged by BuzzFeed well down the article. The screenshot matters because it shows BuzzFeed using accuracy complaints and IPSO-related outcomes as a way to attack rival tabloid publishers, while BuzzFeed itself was outside IPSO and therefore not subject to the same complaints route when CEN later sought correction of BuzzFeed’s own allegations. Read alongside the wider Tom Phillips/CEN material, the item helps document how BuzzFeed’s criticism of tabloid inaccuracy, racism and viral misinformation overlapped with its own commercial and editorial rivalry with the newspapers that used CEN material.
