Ben Smith / @buzzfeedben: It's been an incredible 8 years @BuzzFeedNews. Here's the note I just sent to our staff. https://twitter.com/...
Charlotte Tobitt / Press Gazette: Buzzfeed News founding editor Ben Smith leaves to join New York Times
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/...
Tom Jones / Poynter: CNN anchor Don Lemon's unprofessional laughing fit draws President Trump's ire » …
Jonah Peretti / @peretti: My note to the team about @BuzzFeedBen leaving....Thank you, Ben! I'll always be grateful for your partnership, the adventures we shared, and the newsroom you built. I know we'll break big stories and make you proud in the years ahead. https://twitter.com/...
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/...
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.
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/...
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/...
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.
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/...
Nick Sallon / @nicksallon: Big congrats @BuzzFeedBen - thank you for your partnership & willingness to take risks / do new things - has been A LOT of fun! https://twitter.com/...
Tasneem N / @tasneemn: In the 6+ years I've been at BuzzFeed News, I've reported on thousands of news stories but @BuzzFeedBen never lets me forget about the ridiculous blog I wrote in my 20s about my quarter-life crisis. You will be missed, fellow blogger. https://twitter.com/...
Donie O'Sullivan / @donie: �� the replies 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/...
Josh Russell / @josh_emerson: Ben was the 1st person to listen to my crazy rant about disinformation online and have someone write about it, good luck! https://twitter.com/...
Ryan Mac / @rmac18: Before I officially started here, Ben somehow got my number and started bombarding me with tips. I was on vacation but started hitting the phones to chase stuff down. It was a testament to how much he wanted his reporters to win and I'm going to miss that a lot. https://twitter.com/...
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/...
Austin Hunt / @austinhunt: i have a lot of great stories about ben. i really don't know where to start... but they all finish with him texting and walking away mid-conversation. best of luck, ben. https://twitter.com/...
Gabe Rivera / @gaberivera: This sounds like a NYT column I'll actually make an effort to read and not roll my eyes at. https://twitter.com/...
Matthew Keys / @matthewkeyslive: I had the joy of meeting Ben more than once when I worked in New York, and then I became one of his critics. But honestly, this makes all the sense in the world. He will occupy the same space left behind by David Carr, and that's a huge honor and privilege that Ben deserves. https://twitter.com/...
Jasper Jackson / @jaspjackson: This is pretty big and interesting to see what happens after... https://twitter.com/...
Katie Notopoulos / @katienotopoulos: A while ago I published something really gross and stupid, and Ben told me that if the day ever came we weren't allowed to publish stuff that gross and stupid, that how we'd know it's time for us to leave. So I guess he attempted to post goatse and had to go to the times https://twitter.com/...
Justin Hendrix / @justinhendrix: Godspeed, Ben. Looking forward to your insights on media. 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/...
@pranavdixit: I only met Ben in person after three years of working for him, and the first thing he immediately asked was what I was working on, like he does with all his reporters. Thank you for letting us experiment, for taking chances, for having our backs, and mostly just, *getting* it. https://twitter.com/...
Dan Frommer / @fromedome: The New York Times talent grab continues to be formidable. Ben could have probably done $1mm a year with a subscription newsletter — Substack loses another one — but hard to beat the NYT cachet for those who value it. 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/...

But billionaires care about ROI, not public benefit. They won't save us. https://www.wsj.com/...
Max Abelson / @maxabelson: Alright so this means Warren Buffett would rather hold on to a door to door vacuum cleaner business, and a literal encyclopedia publisher, then his newspapers — including the hometown paper he's owned for longer than I've been alive. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
Lisa Abramowicz / @lisaabramowicz1: Warren Buffett can't stomach the demise of the newspaper business anymore. “Berkshire Hathaway's agreement to sell its newspapers is a message that it will eschew companies in fading business models.” https://www.bloomberg.com/...
Diana B. Henriques / @dianabhenriques: So. He wanted to save local #newspapers in service to #democracy...until, you know, not enough revenue? This is bad news, sad news. Warren Buffett Will Sell His Newspaper Empire https://www.nytimes.com/...
@specnewsbuffalo: JUST IN: The Buffalo News has been sold to Lee Enterprises, Inc. for $140 million in cash, ending Warren Buffett's more than 40-year ownership of the daily newspaper. The sale was announced early Wednesday morning. http://specne.ws/...
Stephen T Watson / @buffaloscribe: The news of the morning. Not yet known what it means for the paper and its employees, including me. 3rd owner after the Butler family and Buffett. https://twitter.com/...
Mark Poloncarz / @markpoloncarz: The print media business certainly has changed in the last decade, but this “sale” still is surprising to see. Unfortunately, many midsized cities have seen dramatic changes in their daily newspapers, including eliminating staff and entire days. https://buffalonews.com/...
Nick Reisman / @nickreisman: Lee owns The Citizen and The Post-Star — inarguably the two best small newspapers in upstate New York. https://twitter.com/...

Patrick Thornton / @pwthornton: Newspaper booster Warren Buffet is getting out of the newspaper business. He says most newspapers are “toast,” which I think is probably an understatement. It seems impossible to forge a new business model at most legacy news organizations. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
Ginger Clark / @ginger_clark: Logan Roy just bought a bunch of newspapers.... https://twitter.com/...
Dan Kennedy / @dankennedy_nu: Warren Buffett was the most disappointing newspaper owner I wrote about in The Return of the Moguls. Not bad or evil. But no ideas, and no interest in hiring people with ideas. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
Hadas Gold / @hadas_gold: Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway drops its newspapers, selling them to Lee Enterprises for $140M. In a statement Buffet said “I am confident that our newspapers will be in the right hands” https://lee.net/...
Luke Kawa / @ljkawa: Warren Buffett is loaning someone money so he doesn't have to own newspapers any more (and to get a 9% coupon, I guess) https://www.bloomberg.com/...
Katherine Chiglinsky / @k_chiglinsky: A sign of the times? Buffett just struck a deal to sell his newspapers, including his hometown one, to Lee (and he'll help finance the deal). Papers have long been a part of BRK's story - Buffett even used to deliver them - but this may mark the end. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
Damon Kiesow / @dkiesow: So ultimately Buffett decided he could make more money (9%) loaning the money to buy the news group than he could by owning it. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
