ELC / @erinleecarr: Great, lovely to hear that @BuzzFeedBen will be covering the amorphous, ever-changing environ that is media and + media column at the @nytimes. I think my dad would like the hire. Give em' hell Ben. https://www.nbcnews.com/...
Donie O'Sullivan / @donie: �� the replies https://twitter.com/...
Raju Narisetti / @raju: A smart hire by @nytimes. Congratulations, Ben. And, in so many ways, also marks the approaching end of the news(y) @BuzzFeed that we got to know over the years in terms of its serious journalism. It has been a terrific run. https://twitter.com/...
Julia Reinstein / @juliareinstein: Any reporter in this newsroom could tell you there are few wilder reporting days than when @BuzzFeedBen himself personally assigns you a story. I've learned so much from him and he will be missed! https://twitter.com/...
Jodi Rudoren / @rudoren: Congratulations to @BuzzFeedBen and @nytimes Hard to imagine a wiser media mind, better sourced reporter, sharper writer or nicer guy for this critical role at this critical moment. Can't wait to read the column. https://twitter.com/...
Saeed Jones / @theferocity: In November 2012, @BuzzFeedBen hired me — a poet with no newsroom experience — to launch @BuzzFeedLGBT. And that was just the start. He's one of the best mentors I've ever had. Proud to have worked for him and with him for six, wild years. End of an era. https://twitter.com/...
Streetsblog New York / @streetsblognyc: Congrats to @BuzzFeedBen, a great friend of Streetsblog. Let's hope that first (ok, second or third) @nytimes media column is about the pernicious effect of CAR CULTURE on all media (amirite, @cliffordlevy)? https://twitter.com/...
Josh Gerstein / @joshgerstein: Hats off to @BuzzFeedBen, who has overseen an impressive string of work from a keen set of reporters. @BuzzFeedNews has also proved the naysayers wrong about cultivating quality journalism alongside more entertaining content. (P.S. Newspapers do this every day and always have.) https://twitter.com/...
S. Mitra Kalita / @mitrakalita: Thank you, Ben. For so much - but above all, listening, good internet and your friendship. Fully expect that to continue even when you at brand x. https://twitter.com/...
Ellen Cushing / @elcush: A generation of reporters owe their careers, their sensibilities, and their fearlessness to Ben, and I am wildly, impossibly lucky to be one of them. I can't wait to read him every week. https://twitter.com/...
Kristin Chirico / @lolacoaster: I remember when BuzzFeed was small enough where Ben would write me little emails when things I wrote went viral and would take me to coffee to try and figure out my deal even though we make diametrically different internet things and that's the kinda guy Ben is. https://twitter.com/...
Alexis Levinson / @alexis_levinson: Working for @BuzzFeedBen meant getting really frustrated by one of his harebrained ideas and then eventually realizing that he was totally dead on. I loved working for him, and can't wait to read the new column. https://twitter.com/...
Emily Ramshaw / @eramshaw: Wow wow wow. Good for you! https://twitter.com/...
Margaret Sullivan / @sulliview: @BuzzFeedBen And @BuzzFeedNews will get a new leader after a wide search that will include internal and external candidates. That's a talent-rich, 200-person newsroom. Incredible opportunity for somebody.
Steven Perlberg / @perlberg: Like many reporters on here, I owe @BuzzFeedBen a lot. He taught me many things, like how you can write whatever you want about someone in a profile if you call them “fashionable” at some point. NYT media columnist is the perfect job for him until Dean Baquet retires https://twitter.com/...
Stuart Millar / @stuartmillar159: .@BuzzFeedBen is everything a top editor should be - brave, exacting and fiercely loyal to the story and the reporters. Unusually for a top editor, he doesn't mind being told he's got something wrong. Annoyingly, he's usually right. Cannot wait to read his NYT media columns
Nick Confessore / @nickconfessore: Can't decide whether hiring @BuzzFeedBen is a sign of our continuing Borg assimilation of amazing BuzzFeed talent or the final act of our Borg assimilation of Politico 1.0.
Garance Franke-Ruta / @thegarance: Amazing get by the NYT! Though what it means for/about BuzzFeed... https://twitter.com/...
Jon Gabriel / @exjon: I'll be taking over at BuzzFeed; creating new verticals on Byzantinium, indie rock, and Stoicism. https://twitter.com/...

Lauren Sherman / @lapresmidi: This is secretly my dream job https://www.nbcnews.com/...
Shani Olisa Hilton / @shani_o: I know that I owe so much to Ben — end of an era. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Adrian Carrasquillo / @carrasquillo: .@BuzzFeedBen awakened a brand of reporter in me that will always be part of who I am and I'm grateful for how he challenged me. Now I'm just happy he's following his heart. You better get a scoop soon after starting or people will wonder if you lost your fastball.. https://twitter.com/...
Janine Gibson / @janinegibson: Can't believe @BuzzFeedBen who I once had to convince that media was a beat just as good as politics has taken my dream job but he will be a worthy successor to David Carr https://twitter.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: Wowzer. @BuzzFeedBen leaves Buzz Feed to become media columnist at the New York Times. He had been the editor of @BuzzFeedNews. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Phillip Picardi / @pfpicardi: Woooooow. Ben truly did incredible work, and @buzzfeednews has a stellar team. I hope whoever comes in next realizes what talent is on staff! https://twitter.com/...
@rolandsmartin: Ummmmm. Wow. To go from the top editor at @BuzzFeedNews to a media columnist at the @nytimes. Really @BuzzFeedBen? Shocking https://twitter.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: >> @sulliview: “Smith and I have been friendly for several years, & I want to welcome him as a fellow media columnist. We need sharp-eyed critics, daring truth-tellers & clear heads in this increasingly crazy sphere. I'm confident he has all that and more” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Jim Waterson / @jimwaterson: Ben Smith was a totally fantastic editor. Always without fail had the backs of his reporters, took a punt on people, and saw where media was going for good and bad. Anyway, as he always taught, never miss a chance for a story: So if you know who's going to replace him.... https://twitter.com/...
Lydia Polgreen / @lpolgreen: .@BuzzFeedBen is the best and this is amazing news for NYT readers. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Alex Kantrowitz / @kantrowitz: It's been a dream come true working with @BuzzFeedBen. Wishing you luck and looking forward to reading, Ben. We'll miss you very much here. https://www.nbcnews.com/...
Yashar Ali / @yashar: . @BuzzFeedBen has always been good to me, but a few years ago he gave me advice that changed my life. I can't wait to read his column (Look at my reply to Dylan's tweet below for a less diplomatic response) https://twitter.com/...
Mark Di Stefano / @markdistef: A giant of news on the internet. So many of us owe him everything. https://twitter.com/...
Anne Helen Petersen / @annehelen: .@BuzzFeedBen took a true chance on a PhD from the quasi-middle of nowhere with no journalism experience. He once told me that books are “paywalled content.” He's a brilliant editor and an effortless writer and this is indeed the end of a BuzzFeed era: https://www.nbcnews.com/...
Kevin Roose / @kevinroose: In addition to having a good forehand, @BuzzFeedBen is sharp as hell and this is very exciting. https://www.nbcnews.com/...
Joe Concha / @joeconchatv: Makes sense: https://www.nbcnews.com/...

The Israeli company: not all hack attempts use our products. Be careful out there, kids. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Stephanie Kirchgaessner / The Guardian: Reporter who wrote book on Saudi crown prince was allegedly targeted by hackers

Kevin Collier / @kevincollier: @citizenlab @NYTBen @RonDeibert A clarification I haven't seen elsewhere, since today's report is the first reported instance of NSO being used against an American, which is against NSO's TOS.

Raphael Satter / @razhael: Deeply concerning. @NYTBen was targeted using NSO spyware, @citizenlab says. Kudos to Ben for knowing who to call — and to the Times for agreeing to make this case public. Not all organizations have the courage to talk about these threats publicly. https://citizenlab.ca/...
Avi Asher-Schapiro / @aaschapiro: Did Saudi use spyware supplied by the Israeli surveilence firm NSO Group to try & hack into the NYTimes Beirut bureau chief's phone?

Staci D Kramer / @sdkstl: What's worse than hearing the president praise his SecState for lying and berating a woman reporter? Watching men laugh and nod along, then seeing someone who spoke on the floor of the U.S. Senate last night, who senators are using to excuse their votes, pat him on the back. https://twitter.com/...

Elizabeth de la Vega / @delavegalaw: Why did the journalists not just walk out of the room en masse? https://twitter.com/...
Mallory Yu / @mallory_yu: “That reporter” has a name - Mary Louise Kelly - a celebrated body of work, the deep respect and admiration of her colleagues here at NPR and within the journalism community, and the ethics and trustworthiness of the kind of journalists this country needs now more than ever. https://twitter.com/...

Nick Schifrin / @nickschifrin: State Department removes @NPR's @michelekelemen from @SecPompeo plane—where she was scheduled for a pool radio rotation—during upcoming trip to London, Kiev. Comes after @SecPompeo accused media of being “unhinged” after @NPRKelly interview and subsequent back and forth.
Andrea Mitchell / @mitchellreports: State dept colleagues are dismayed, outraged by @SecPompeo decision to kick esteemed @NPR veteran diplomatic correspondent @MicheleKelemen off his plane for this week's trip to Ukraine in apparent retaliation for her colleague standing up to bullying. #FirstAmendment
Aaron Rupar / Vox: State Department bans NPR reporter from traveling with Pompeo after testy interview
Javier Blas / @javierblas: Over the years, I had found myself in trouble on foreign land as a journalist. Always, US diplomats proved resolutely helpful to free me from jail and keep an eye as I was deported (even if I'm not an American citizen). I hope @StateDept would hold tight to @pressfreedom values https://twitter.com/...

David Sanger / @sangernyt: I have traveled tens of thousands of miles on the Secretary of State's plane with @michelekelemen. Like @NPRKelly, she is a consummate pro, a superb reporter. The State Dept. may try, childishly, to pick who fills the seats but it won't be able to pick who covers US diplomacy. https://twitter.com/...

Arden Dier / Newser: NPR-Pompeo Brouhaha Rolls On
Ed Markey / @senmarkey: Muzzling the press is what dictatorships do, not the United States of America. Retaliation against NPR or any news outlet for doing their job is authoritarianism and entirely un-American. Secretary Pompeo, it's not personal, it's press. https://twitter.com/...
Michael Bennet / @senatorbennet: The Secretary of State should promote American values - including a free press - around the globe. Bullying journalists for doing their jobs is something you'd expect from authoritarian regimes, not the U.S. https://twitter.com/...
Joyce Alene / @joycewhitevance: This is unacceptable @SecPompeo. You work for us & we expect the press to have access to you. Explain what happened here & how you intend to correct it. This is what dictatorships do to the press, not how our country's officials behave. https://twitter.com/...
Edward Wong / @ewong: Secretary of State is supposed to defend American values, including press freedom. Pompeo does the opposite. Listen to the interview @NPRKelly did that upset him. A true professional, she asked about Iran & Ukraine. Then he cursed her with F-bombs. https://www.npr.org/...
Aaron Blake / @aaronblake: 1. Pompeo implied he had been lied to about the subject of their conversation. Emails show his aide was told. 2. Pompeo laughably suggested @NPRKelly had mistaken Ukraine for Bangladesh on a map. 3. Now NPR is being punished? https://twitter.com/...
Steve Inskeep / @nprinskeep: Allow me to introduce @michelekelemen, a deeply experienced foreign correspondent and @NPR diplomatic correspondent.

Qasim Rashid / @qasimrashid: Here's an NPR report on how in 2019 the United States dropped to 48th in World Press Freedom. The move downgrades America from a “satisfactory” place to work freely to a “problematic” one for journalists.😳 America was 20th in 2010😑 Are we great yet?🤔 https://www.npr.org/... https://twitter.com/...
Chuck Holmes / @chuckatwbhm: Really? @michelekelemen has covered State for years under Rs and Ds, earning the respect of her peers & from those she covered. She does her job with intelligence & professionalism. But, um, she has been known to ask questions on a variety of topics. https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Kaczynski / @kfile: As a rule we shouldn't be restricting reporters because their outlet's questions hurt Mike Pompeo's feelings https://twitter.com/...
Dan Barry / @danbarrynyt: Let's slow this down: The Secretary of State. Removes an NPR reporter from the press pool for a diplomatic trip. Because another NPR reporter asked him hard but fair questions. After which he maligned her by misrepresenting what the ground rules had been. Where are we? https://twitter.com/...
Laura Kennedy / @ambkennedy_ret: Can anyone see this removal of @michelekelemen by Pompeo as anything but retribution against NPR? How do US diplomats promote democracy & freedom of press with a Secretary like Pompeo? PS He sure likes to pick on women journalists https://twitter.com/...
Toomas Hendrik Ilves / @ilvestoomas: The US is a member of the @OSCE and pushed hard for the establishment of the office of the @OSCE_RFoM, the organization's High Representative for Media Freedom, a post currently held by @harlemdesir. Cases such as this are investigated by the High Representative. https://twitter.com/...
Ashton Pittman / @ashtonpittman: Mike Pompeo, like Donald Trump, has the instincts of a true despot. Retaliating against one NPR reporter because a different NPR reporter asked you a question you didn't like—and then noted your abusive rage at her to the public—is the marking of a weak, petty tyrant. https://twitter.com/...
Brian Klaas / @brianklaas: Pompeo bullied an NPR reporter for doing her job. Then he lied about her. And now he's banned her colleague from covering him as a form of retribution for simply asking a basic and reasonable question. This is the kind of stuff you see under despots, not in democracies. https://twitter.com/...
Jessica Taylor / @jessicataylor: Both @michelekelemen and @NPRKelly are consummate professionals. This is absurd. Reporters ask tough questions. It's their job. https://twitter.com/...
Mary Delach Leonard / @marydleonard: Well, this looks petty ... And I'll betcha NPR's @michelekelemen can also point to Ukraine on a map. https://twitter.com/...
