Buzzfeed has often been in the hot seat for accusations such as plagiarism.

Buzzfeed is able to shed light on a plethora of issues involving bigotry or discrimination. The downside of of this is that they have slowly become extreme social justice warriors that favour alt-left political views and aggressively condemn the right-wing

Buzzfeed's diversity ends up diminishing its reputation as a true and objective media outlet. Because their topics are so diverse, and they seem to release articles on completely different topics at a fast pace, it brings up the questions if the articles are really reliable when it comes to talking about certain topics like BLM and/or psychology.

Buzzfeed contains many different types of sections, articles, quizzes, and more that cater to all types of audiences. Their articles contain a comment section wherein readers/viewers can express their feelings and opinions regarding what was stated in the post. The audience plays an important role in their content because it challenges them to create more up-to-date content that would keep the audience interested.

Media agencies like Buzzfeed must be transparent about their biases in order to remain ethical in their journalism. One of the main criticisms against Buzzfeed which has harmed their reputation is that they are heavily biased, especially in their reporting of the news. Many believe that this undermines their credibility. As such, it is important for journalists to reveal their biases to the reader for them to remain ethical and credible.

In a world full of information, media often tends to be biased or sometimes "sugar-coated", hiding the raw truth. Biases in media is one of things that gave birth to the term "fake news", which refers to reports that can mislead or contain misinformation. Today, media is so widely used, but some people are vulnerable to such fake news because they do not do cross-check. By not verifying the information, they may get influenced by these articles that are not necessarily presenting "correct" information. People should learn to identify possible biases in any sources that they may use. Since people rely on these media agencies for information, they must be transparent about their biases so that readers do not get deceived by them. Although the effects of biases in articles may be partially due to the receivers, media agencies, like Buzzfeed especially, should still be transparent about their biases so that they can serve as credible sources.

Good: Entertainment and making boring topics interesting (social issues, news etc.)
Bad: Possibility of misinformation

Buzzfeed's diversity has a positive and negative impact towards its reputation. Given the diversity, audiences recognize the relatability of the site to have text-types that apply to the desired content that a specific audience member has. This gives Buzzfeed the reputation of being entertaining or accessible. The issue with the autonomy of writers towards their text-types is the lack of reliability checks towards the actual content of these text-types while biases are also not as transparent so uncritical audiences may not easily recognize the preconceptions or psychological noise of these articles.

Buzzfeed is a source of information about current topics and even entertainment in the form of its quizzes and comedy articles. The downside is that if misinformation spreads. then the huge audience of BuzzFeed will also be misinformed, since it is such a prominent website.

# data[].attributes.body
BuzzFeed is able to not just inform us of the most recent events, but also entertains people with their quizzes, listicles, user-created content, etc. However, the bad that could come from this is "fake news" or spreading biases or untrue information. With a big company like BuzzFeed this could be quite dangerous.

# data[].attributes.body
Buzzfeed is considered as the leading independent media company therefore it has a large presence on the internet. Objectively speaking, the demographics who are the most active on social media are the younger demographics such as the millennials and the Gen Zs. With the internet being filled with a younger audience Buzzfeed creates content that would serve to the interests of the millennials and gen Z. The content of Buzzfeed is heavily focused on celebrities and current internet trends in order to capture the attention of their desired demographic. Buzzfeed content would include articles talking about the latest "TikTok drama" and have a plethora of Harry Potter quizzes which the older generation may deem as trivial and superficial

Buzzfeed is able to provide readers with entertainment and information through their vast amount of articles, videos, and quizzes. However, there are times where Buzzfeed becomes controversial in their articles. There's also a possibility of misinformation or unfair political bias that could spread to its readers.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that even though Buzzfeed can be quite controversial at times, the content it produces can still be beneficial. Buzzfeed is a media network that doesn't focus on one avenue of media/communication. From the news articles to the feature articles, Buzzfeed is able to cover so many topics in just one website. However, I think the negative side is that sometimes the content can go out of control. So much content flows in Buzzfeed that it is almost certain that something may go wrong like an inconsistency, an error or even legal accusations like copyright and plagiarism that can easily derail the company's operations and the work of the staff and tarnishing the brand's reputation in the process.

Buzzfeed acts as a source of entertainment for several readers through the use of its different text types. They are also able to provide information on current issues such as the BLM movement. However, some Buzzfeed content contains biases and possible miscommunication of information.

The politicisation of media has always been an everpresent issue: news agencies like CNN and Fox News are among the most prominent representations of both sides of politicised reporting. While it is impossible to escape these biases, as is present in everyone, efforts should be made to ensure factual reporting. Severely distorting reality while presenting it as fact to serve a political agenda is harmful towards the functioning of the nation: poorly informed opinions can cause chaos as is evidenced in the United States. In an ideal world, there wouldn't be any biases and all reporting would be factual. However, that is inescapable and being transparent about these biases would be difficult at best because of the subjectivity regarding what is considered to be bias and the intricacies involved. Therefore, the responsibility should fall to the consumers. We cannot just stay in our "bubble" of media targeted at us. A healthy media diet should include well-cited articles and a mix of reporting from both sides of the political spectrum to ensure a well-informed knowledge of current affairs.

I believe that the good things that we gain from Buzzfeed are new knowledge and entertainment. An example would be the shows Tasty and Worth it. I really enjoy watching their food explorations and through that, I also learn how to use certain techniques in my life.

However, Buzzfeed also brings bad things to viewers such as biases and fake news. Because of this, some viewers are mislead to believe certain ideas.

Over the years, Buzzfeed has encountered multiple cases of plagiarism such as accusations of plagiarism against Benny Johnson and because of this, research surveys now cite Buzzfeed as an unreliable source

What's good that comes from buzzfeed is the role they play as a leading media outlet producing information, ads and entertainment to audience domestic or foreign, it also gives audiences different content everytime with a diversity of people from different background joining the content making buzzfeed a race friendly media outlet for everyone to watch. Although, buzzfeed can have a bad side to their success usually it maybe in a form of plagiarism or even bias stances on some articles which can tarnish their reputation when not handled with care and not neutral in their stances and defense.

What is good from a company like BuzzFeed is that they are able to shed light on different present day issues such as the BLM movement, discrimination, etc. However due to the history of this company, different people may have different opinions and may chose to listen otherwise even if what they are reporting is factual and true.

# data[].attributes.body
Buzzfeed should be transparent about their biases, while biases are normal and to be expected, it should be admitted. It is impossible to have no biases, but denying or not being transparent about it would be lying by omission. It is easy for people to see the news source that they listen to as the correct one and forget that they may not always be right and they should consider other perspectives, not necessarily accepting them, but just understanding them.

Everything is biased already today. No matter how hard we try to be objective humans are very subjective beings, thus messages are often misinterpreted, as people will have different opinions on what is said, what is done, and how it was said. With that in mind, it is best that media agencies be transparent of what they represent, who they represent, and what do they stand for.

# data[].attributes.body
The good that comes from companies like Buzzfeed is that you can read onto everything already in that one website because it is so complex that it includes almost every possible topic you want to read online. It informs you on a broad or wide variety of contents, but the bad that comes from them are often that it is too opinionated or biased or one-sided that the contents published are not reliable and can only be understood and analyzed to an extent where you don't take it seriously as it is not so accurate from the truth.

As US choose to deregulate political neutrality, unlike in the UK and Germany, we see the prominence of media agencies which cater to specific biases such as CNN and Fox. So then it is importance for these companies to be transparent to inform the viewer of the predisposition the company has which allows the reader to be more objective, as well as preventing misinformation from taking places as opinions may be taken as fact without drawing a clear line of what is their bias

Buzzfeed's diversity in content ends up hurting them more rather than helping them as their quizzes and listicles have impacted their credibility as a news source even if its technically under a separate branch of Buzzfeed. Many have also poked fun at Buzzfeed's attempt to appeal to the youth and boomers at the same time. Finally, Buzzfeed's issues related to plagiarism and political biases have hampered their credibility and reputation amongst the public

# data[].attributes.body
The good that comes from companies like BuzzFeed is that they have a diverse selection of entertaining and interesting content that you can access through their webpage. While the bad that comes from them is that they are political biased especially with spreading Obama's campaign.

Media agencies should, with utmost importance, be transparent. Their biases may deceive people, and overall does not encourage healthy perceptions and beliefs. This however does not mean that opinions are discouraged, it is only for the audiences to be aware that what is being discussed is more of an opinion and not factual.

# data[].attributes.body
Buzzfeed's diversity has an adverse effect on its reputation. It is hard for people to take the media outlet seriously when it posts quizzes like "How Likely Is It You're Going To Hell?" and even with this kind of casual and informal content, they also try to be an objective and non-biased news source, and at the same time have lots of opinionated articles. The kind of media company BuzzFeed wants to be is clouded and all over the place.

# data[].attributes.body
Buzz-feeds different diversity in content could lead to issues in the validity and reliability of the information as a news source.
