BuzzFeed Taps Karolina Waclawiak as Editor in Chief of News Division
BuzzFeed is set to name its top culture editor, Karolina Waclawiak, as editor in chief of its newsroom, people familiar with the matter said, tapping a veteran insider to lead a division that has been dealing with changes in leadership and strategy.
Ms. Waclawiak, who has been with BuzzFeed for six years, will take over a newsroom that cut its teeth on big investigative swings—including a Pulitzer Prize-winning series of articles about China’s infrastructure for detaining Muslims in its Xinjiang region—but has been shrinking of late as the now-public BuzzFeed is looking to boost profitability.
