BuzzFeed proposes more collaborative courses with top communications schools to teach students future media skills like social listening tools and trend algorithms. These BuzzFeed classes would give students exposure to transferable skills needed for evolving media fields, while also giving BuzzFeed more publicity among college students, a key demographic. The classes would be a mutually beneficial partnership for both students and BuzzFeed to stay ahead of changing media landscapes.

BUZZFEED VISION STATEMENT:
We propose that BuzzFeed takes part in more collaborative courses in top
communications schools so that students can adopt future media skills.
To keep up with the rapidly evolving media landscape, students need to master platforms such
as social listening tools and trend identification algorithms.
BuzzFeed is the perfect teacher to help students garner transferable media skills
which is an integral asset for the field in the not so distant future.
Through more BuzzFeed classes, students will gain exposure and
BuzzFeed will gain publicity in the college domain— a main demographic of
the BuzzFeed community.
