Buzzfeed is one of the most premptive websites for news and memes. Those two things may seem counter-intuitive, but somehow the online publication has managed to turn this business model into a global brand, breaking such important stories as the Christopher Steele Dossier while simultaneously giving you all the funny cat content that you need.
While other publications are shuttering their print editions in favor of moving entirely online, Buzzfeed is doing the opposite. They're going retro and launching a print version.
