Ten years ago, the online news platform Buzzfeed published completely false allegations that a British journalist was running a global fake news factory from his offices in Vienna, Austria. These claims devastated the reputation of an award-winning agency that had existed since 1993, supplying content to some of the biggest media brands in the world. This book documents the story behind the story and casts a spotlight on the real reason for the decline in trust in the media and the death of journalism.
