  1. Would you like to write longform for @BuzzFeedCanada? WELL YOU CAN. We want pitches for your Canada-centric essays & reporting.

  2. @BuzzFeedCanada would particularly like to hear from you if you are not white and not male.

  3. Last thing:

IF YOU’RE A WHITE MAN UPSET THAT WE ARE LOOKING MOSTLY FOR NON-WHITE NON-MEN

I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU

GO WRITE FOR MACLEAN’S

.@danspeerin White men are still permitted to pitch, I will read it, I will consider it. I’m just less interested because, ugh, men.

Some people might dismiss this because BuzzFeed isn't exactly considered prestigious (they're associated with clickbait), but it certainly seems like they're comparatively thriving in the otherwise declining news industry. They're certainly taken seriously enough that I saw someone from BuzzFeed Canada on a CBC panel, and they're ranked 129 on the Alexa website rankings.
