Buzzfeed moves into local news by hiring new regional reporters
NBC's $200 million investment into BuzzFeed has enabled the company to branch out into reporting local news. This grants the growing platform with more coverage and a larger catalogue to offer. The consequent effect of this is that audiences are treated with more news from this one growing source (partnered with TimeWarner) - thus leading to a monopolisation in the market.
The Ugandan news institution has also adopted the ways of the digital paywall. This has been seen to promise better quality news in the third-world nation and demonstrates the contagion created by the uprise of new & digital media.
