So how does BuzzFeed fit into the story? Many seemed to think the site was a little too anxious to be first with the news of Carr’s death.

However, Claudia Koerner, the reporter who wrote of Carr’s death for BuzzFeed, had confirmed the news with the Times.

To be fair to BuzzFeed, the news was out there, just before the higher-ups at the Times had assumed it would be.
