BuzzFeed put out a one-time print edition on March 6. The
paper was available at Union
Square , Penn Station and Herald Square in New York City . “Get your BuzzFeed newspaper
in NYC today for all the best of the internet without the internet!” read a
BuzzFeed tweet on the paper, which was being done for fun, according to
BuzzFeed. The stories in the paper were real, however, with the cover story on
Momo fan art. The paper’s motto was “Social. Mobile . Recyclable.”
BuzzFeed
Editor-in-chief Ben Smith was among those handing out
copies in New York , according to NiemanLab.
Some
critics on Twitter were unhappy with the promotional move in light of the
January layoffs of 15 percent of BuzzFeed's workforce, amounting to more than
220 people. In February employees at BuzzFeed’s news division announced plans
to unionize.
