BuzzFeed faces storm of criticism
BuzzFeed is getting a storm of criticism this week after it posted some questionable pictures and claimed they were from the tornadoes that Dallas/Ft. Worth.
Three of their pictures may have either been photo shopped or from other disasters. They took down the pictures from their gallery on the Texas storms and posted a correction on the page. But, the error shows that the site is facing higher scrutiny than before.
Poynter has an interesting article on it and a Storify on the questions about BuzzFeed’s transparency concerns. Check it out!
