The journalism crisis: BuzzFeed—along with HuffPost and a number of local newspapers—recently underwent a round of brutal layoffs. Will Oremus analyzes the situation, one sadly emblematic of the current state of digital media. Jenny G. Zhang interviews an unpaid BuzzFeed quizmaster—who drove a massive amount of traffic to the site—about her thoughts on this news. Meanwhile, Mike Pesca looks at the broader state of the field and discusses why the digital media business model is broken. (Hint: It has to do with Big Tech.)
