tom: what about at buzzfeed? shani: michael is getting someone -- my goal is hitting someone acting badly fired from their job. we have a socialist, which is a proprietary -- a social list, which is a proprietary way of seeing how many people have shared it. is about getting a sense of how our it is spreading beyond the people that you seatededed it to on twitter. we also have time spent engagement, and obviously page views. tom: so it is not just sharing. shani: no. rocco: i think putting someone in jail was lying and get away with it. that is my ultimate goal. you can get a lot of traffic off that. [laughter] internally am a of course. views matters -- internally, of course page views matter. i think there also might be part of our job to not be disingenuous, not to trick anyone. but you do want to bake them into theit them into the honey. the world is not just cats. [laughter] tom: you are not entirely new there. okay. so let's talk about ethics. do you guys all have an ethics policy? max: we don't. [laughter]

gawker and buzzfeed. what is the mission of buzz feed --buzzfeed. >> we have been working on our mission statement. we do not have that yet. we have slightly different missions. for the entertainment section it is really just entertaining people. we try to do all those things in a way that meets people where they are on the web. tom: let me follow up on that. you are known for cat videos. i've seen a presentation where here is but -- here is buzz feed -- you also have this range of things that goes to watchdog journalism. what role do you see buzzfeed playing in the life of its audience or role? shani: for me because i work primarily with news is being a trustworthy source. we have these bands that don't have a reason to trust us because we haven't been presenting ourselves as a trustworthy source of news. that is what has been changing the last couple of years. from my perspective, a big part of it is helping our readers understand you working for them. tom: i will push on that when we get to revenue mod

sarah facebook also talking to buzzfeed and national geographic.t what do you make of the "new york times" on the verge of giving mark zuckerberg a fat chunk of content? >> it's fascinating. i think it's the combo of the "new york times" and buzzfeed together that is fascinating. such a market pr master stroke. these are two big giants on polar opposites of the scale. buzzfeed very new immediatemedia, highly valued, going after shares and distribution. "new york times" always aboutl about brand. one of the only publications where subscriptions seem to be kind of working. and frankly, both of these publications want a little bit of what the other one has. buzzfeed is trying to get more trust and respect ability for its journalism. "new york times" is trying to figure out some way to get distribution and money because a subscription along as well as it's working won't sustain several hundred people newsroom. >> what about the potential down side here. would you take this will deal and give up traffic coming to your fight? >> i would not take this dea

buzzfeed gawker, and vice have subsets. if you can add or remove a subsection, which would you choose and why? why from each other's sites -- >> from each other's sites? >> it's open. >> i think the thing we do well is coverage of internet culture. we call it weird internet. it's not just weird. it's internet. our sister site does a little bit of it. it's a huge new arena. it needs journalists doing work because it's influential. >> i want to find a way to tell climate stories in a way that is readable and compelling, and it's really hard. the market for climate journalists has been so diminished there is hardly anyone doing it. the people are doing wordy but not very readable -- were the but not -- worthy but not readable work. >> traditional newsrooms have largely given up on a lot of diversity goals. what we have seen in the research we have done, the digital divide and the sense of people of color not being connected to the internet, that did not happen. the other promise of digital that there would be a new diversity o

thanks to buzzfeed it blew up the internet friday night. white and gold or black and blue.ck and blue. in fact i wore black and blue for the occasion. it's all in good fun. it revealed something pretty important how our media works. the dress post broke our traffic records with 670,000 people on buzzfeed.com simultaneously. 670,000 people. that's roughly how many people are watching this show right now. websites can get that big nowadays at the same time. what media lessons can we learn from the dress seen around the world? binge back cable news analogy buzzfeed gets tens of millions hundreds of millions a month. it felt like saturation coverage like cable news does. >> there's a broadcast quality to the web. there's a mass scale. i don't know is it the web or real life where i'm showing you my phone or showing my kids my phone. >> internet but sounds like real life. >> a world event with physical object. i think those things -- this was a moment of seeing this blur. >> i was on a plane when this happened. it did happen took over twitter. >> least important but most fun. >>

how many page views did the buzzfeed story on the dress get?hat got it all started, how many page views did it get? we'll be right back with the answer. s turn to hillary clinton. very interesting moment this week when elizabeth warren was asked directly about hillary and offered an interesting response. >> i want to hear what she wants to run on and what she says she wants to do. that's what campaigns are supposed to be about. >> she was asked directly do you think that hillary clinton can be that warrior to the middle class we need? she didn't answer yes. well, i don't know. that's what primaries are about. >> she's clearly not on board with hillary clinton. even though she's given some lip service to that. i think the election in chicago has now probably -- >> rahm emanuel. >> for the first time in chicago history being forced to a runoff. >> despite the fact that president obama was there. >> shocking with his personality that he wasn't able to win that. >> it's that he didn't take the time to understand the people that didn't look like him

sauerkraut was appropriately named, slowly gaining popularity when buzzfeed posted about her and thenwent virus million she's been feed. on time.com, people, and cnn. and now kitty is going on tour. >> her fans can he see her. our first stop will be roses well, new mexico, because everybody says she look like an alien. >> she does in that picture. the reason she looks so sour is because of a neurological disorder zord. >>> seems like a nice cat. >> all this fame will probably go to her head. today was really an unusual weather day. >> it was active. storm tracker 4 was lit up like a christmas tree. >> you were hopping all over the place. it was a big day for you. an interesting day. i would dare say fun if you're a weather person. stormtracker 4 shows all that game. it should be a pretty nice day with the sunny die skyes. look for temperatures in the afternoon to go up in the low o to mid 60s. it look lyings most of the fifth will state out over the southeast. we should get some isolated showers at best. temperatures will be in the low to mid 60s. >> is it dpair to call today all show

and i think buzzfeed has been a leader in figuring out exactly what sort of principals people like in. >> it is sort of the thing you could find on msnbc.com. >> or on krystal clear, wednesday at 11:00 a.m. >> and you talk about relate ability, isn't that the formula that local tv news has been. you talk about the accidental news junky and i think there is something to that but we've had that accidental news junky if you look at tv and i want to watch something, flip around the channels and i accidentally come around something on a local newscast or national or network and we're getting things accidentally that way. isn't this a similar concept, just a simple form? >> i totally agree. i don't think this is a huge break. technology changes but human psychology doesn't. the same things we are interested in are the same things we've been interested in for 100 years. with facebook it has shown that the sort of things we want to read about aren't necessarily the things that the -- that news organizations think we want to know about. one of my favorite stories is that in 1920 george gallop

vox, buzzfeed. why not do something like that? malcolm: because i would be terrible at it.e to wake up too early in the morning, there are all kinds of very good reasons for me to steer clear of that. emily: what about how the nfl has handled some of these domestic violence issues? malcolm: this is a sport that is living in the past that has no connection, i think, to the realities of the game right now. and no real connection to american society. ♪ emily: one of the subjects you wrote about is the nfl. you said it will become a ghettoized sport because of concussions, only poor athletes willing to play the game and that the sport could become obsolete. the nfl is settling with former players. are they doing enough with current players? malcolm: no. i think the sport is a moral abomination. the nfl just did release that report trying to estimate what percentage of retired players will, may well be in need of some kind of medical assistance and they came up with a figure of a third. when you watch football on sunday, a third of the players could be incurring an injury that w

joining me now is washington bureau chief for buzzfeed news john stanton.m rushing out the door to get out of town sometimes i forget to take out the trash or turn off the lights. but rarely do i mistakenly send a letter to dismantle or undermine international negotiations. how seriously is the suggestion that this letter was cheeky and oh, we didn't really look t ate that carefully. how seriously is that line of defense being taken on capitol hill? >> i don't think it's taken seriously at all. they didn't act that way the first three or four days of this thing? the first few days of the controversy. they were very serious about it. it was very serious in their defense of the letter. you know i don't think it was a light hearted thing. i also don't think that republicans really thought they were telling anybody anything they didn't already know. i think iran has c-span and you know, cnn and all of that. they can see what's going on in the united states. i think that the iranian government was certainly well aware of the fact that the congressional republica

on the other hand, according to buzzfeed, a facebook conversation about hillary clinton is getting more and more negative. the article reads, "since news broke that clinton used a personal e-mail account while at state on the night of march 2nd interactions on facebook have spiked and stayed that way in a mostly negative fashion." >>> now to some unbelievable video a cell phone capturing an am track train collideing with a truck. >> oh, my god, oh, my god. >> this happened in north carolina, the train slicing the truck in half. 213 passengers on board. dozens were sent to the hospital, the train was heading to new york. here is how people described that moment of impact. >> it was like a bomb exploded. it hit so hard that it shook the whole car. >> i got thrown from my seat and just scared, really, really scared. >>> and in dallas this the cab of a tractor-trailer dangling over an interstate. it happened after the driver lost control. he and his passenger climbed their way out but it took almost four hours to pull that cab back onto solid ground. >>> it sounds like the plot of an intern

according to buzzfeed a post addressed on a different site says your virtual war on us will cause a real war on you. late last night in a statement, twitter said, "our security team is investigating the veracity of these threats and relevant law enforcement officials. all of this after the pope led prayer for people suffering intolerable brutality in syria and iran. the islamic state kidnapped 220 syrian christians in that area last week. some good news on that front, syrian human rights network said 19 of those 220 captives have been released. no word yet on exactly why. local leaders said 16 men and three women are all around 50 years of age or older. >>> one person is dead after dramatic police shooting on skid row in los angeles. police are responding to reported robbery. a bystander captured it on camera and later posted it on facebook. law enforcement sources tell nbc news the suspect was shot after struggling to grab an officer's service weapon while they were trying to detain him. on the video, officers are seen trying to use a taser to subdue the man. shortly after that an offic

but buzzfeed is not a pretender.ou think it's a technology masquerading as a content company? >> i think so vox is much more about a content company than technology. but they have technology that enables them to distribute more effectively. and therefore have a leg up when they're competing with traditional media players as they go digital. >> how about vice? >> vice is an interesting one. i think vice is much less of one. using digital to build a brand. this is something my dad talks about. 30 years ago you can build a brand in 30 years. and ten years ago you could build a brand in ten years. and today you can build a brand overnight. vice has done a really good job building a brand with marketers incredibly quickly. they don't have a huge owned and operated audience. but they've done a great job using traditional monetizization. now as they think about going to tv as they think about their international licensing business they use old school monetizization to build on the back of a brand they've built. >> i'm tryin

so this story got quite the buzz from buzzfeed. about. >> well the essay is about myself at school that really does exist. i was there from 2000 to 2004. it's just about what it's like to be a student of color on a campus where there are so many of the trappings of the confederacy. one was school tradition, there's a dormitory that's still named after jefferson davis who was an alumni there and there was a fraternity that had lots of confederate flags hanging out on campus. it's just about what it was like to try to go to school and focus on school but also feel really unsafe and unwelcome. and i'd like to say that my story is both common but not so common because obviously not a lot of schools i would hope i guess i can't provide proof of this but i would hope there aren't a bunch of confederate flags on campuses than not. >> i have attended or taught at a lot of southern universities. it is not uncommon again, having grown up in the south. now, i'm older than you so i was coming through -- like just early enough that our kappa al

cory: we saw this news that the like of new york times and buzzfeed would publish on facebook only. an e-mail for missing your media executive saying idiotic is exactly right. when you look at that as an advertiser, is the risk so apparent? >> it is not exclusively. it shows how are powerful -- how powerful. you talk about 600 million messenger followers. that is the power facebook has and the fear that traditional publishers have. mark talked about every time there is a splintering, many of them won't be good. facebook can be between better and best. that is really powerful and something even somebody like new york times will have a hard time competing with. cory: good to see you both. thank you very much. matt: we will give you a check on bloomberg's top headlines. twitter is expanding its india business development team. the ceo's book about the plans. -- ceo spoke about the plans. >> we are costly expanding the number of languages we support on the platform. i suspect us to invest where we are seeing growth. matt: twitter is partnering with the indian government, 16 government a

>> reporter: internet media company buzzfeed said the dress photo was viewed more than 30 million timescord. editor rachel zarrell explained what made this post more explosive than others. >> it doesn't really fit into a category. it applies to anyone. anyone can have an opinion on it because all you need to do is look at it and it's very visual. people were sharing it on mobile, showing it to friend at the bar. >> reporter: all day neuroscientists and vision experts weighed in on why we're seeing anything but the black and blue dress that it actually is. >> for people who only saw the white and gold, is something wrong? i mean, really, i'm asking? >> no. >> i mean this seriously. i don't mean it in a facetious-- i know that sounds facetious. >> reporter: today a blogger wrote, "say no to the dress." and to the dress-like debates of your life. >> blue and black. >> reporter: like the one over this photo. >> that is a white dress with gold trim because that's what it is. >> reporter: that has given us quite a snapshot of how we react when we see something so differently from someone else

but in the same way i read, that people read more than ever before but the reading buzzfeed lists.m too. i wonder if they might be watching more video but they're watching, i don't know gif's or people do skateboard tricks and fall on their face and stuff. what do people want to watch that's different than they watched in traditional television? guest: i think it's all about a different criteria. first of all, the length. of course, very long pieces do not work on digital. we found on watchup the ideal size is about three minutes. cory: three minutes? guest: right. in terms of topics, that's -- cory: just stick with that for a second. they like three minutes more than five. do they like three minutes more than two? guest: it depends on the topic. of course, if it's a short segment about -- regarding the top stories of the day, just a minute probably would be enough. but if it's more like a feature report from a remote area in the world like iraq or syria, maybe they would prefer like the type of journalism like that. so it depends on the topic. but we have seen more serious topics
