Hillary Clinton's campaign is hiring from journalistic outfits. Julie Whitaker, a member of BuzzFeed's distributed content team, has been hired to run Clinton's social media accounts.
Whitaker announced her hiring on Twitter, of course.
"Starting next week, I’ll be working as the social media director for @HillaryClinton!" she tweeted.

Whitaker had only good things to tweet about BuzzFeed.
Whitaker was not a prolific writer for BuzzFeed. According to an online profile there, she only wrote a single piece for the website. "You Need The BFF Facebook Page In Your Life."
The profile says Whitaker's official title at BuzzFeed was BFF managing editor.
