EXCLUSIVE: Richard Rushfield Out at BuzzFeed

If you look at the masthead for BuzzFeed Entertainment, there’s a rather conspicuous name missing. That’s because Los Angeles bureau chief Richard Rushfield is no longer part of the operation.

The exit comes exactly five months after Rushfield joined BuzzFeed last fall to launch a west coast bureau.
