This archived screenshot preserves a Daily Mail article about the possessions of Jewish Holocaust victims being found hidden in an attic 70 years later, published under the byline of Viktoria Mirajova, CEN’s Slovakia-based journalist. The screenshot is significant because, according to Michael Leidig, the story was another example of original CEN reporting where his own byline could not safely be used in the wake of BuzzFeed’s allegations, even though the work still reached a major national publication. The item matters because it shows the practical reputational damage caused by BuzzFeed: stories could still be researched, written, sold and published, but the name attached to the work had become a commercial and editorial risk for publishers. It is also relevant because Mirajova later became disillusioned about the future of independent journalism after the BuzzFeed fallout, making the article part of the wider evidence chain on how the allegations damaged not just CEN’s reputation, but also the confidence and career outlook of younger journalists working inside the agency.
