Mediatwits #99: New ABC News Digital Chief; Listicles Leading to... Investigative Reporting?

BuzzFeed is looking to expand beyond its reputation for cat pictures and rapid-fire, socially viral lists. This Monday, the site announced the creation of its own investigative reporting unit under the supervision of Mark Schoofs. Schoofs is most recently a senior editor at ProPublica, a renowned non-profit investigative journalism organization. And BuzzFeed isn't the only digital native site that's embracing investigative reporting; this week, the Huffington Post published a penetrating report on a network of juvenile detention centers riddled with abuse and mismanagement. For this episode of Mediatwits, we're joined by BuzzFeed's Mark Schoofs, as well as Chris Kirkham, the reporter behind the Huffington Post report. We'll also be joined by Erle Norton, the new executive producer of ABC News Digital, to discuss how broadcast media are evolving in the increasingly digital news ecosystem, as well as ABC's partnership with Yahoo News. Mediatwits roundtable regular and two-time host Andrew Lih of American University will chime in as well, and Mark Glaser is back from paternity leave to host.
