BuzzFeed News has published its last listicle.
The parent company of the site that first gained popularity with lists such as “10 Important Life Lessons You Can Learn From Cats” — and also published the now-debunked Steele dossier — is being shut down, according to a memo from BuzzFeed Inc. CEO Jonah Peretti on Thursday
Peretti said scrapping the site was part of a broader shakeup that includes laying off 15% of staffers companywide — which amounts to 180 jobs. BuzzFeed Inc. also owns the online news sites HuffPost and the Complex Networks.
