It takes a general purpose magazine-like approach to content, covering everything from news, sport and entertainment, to sections on an A-Z of topics from animals and audio to the weddings and the world. There are specific sites for UK, Australian and Canadian readers though most content is shared across all the English-language versions of Buzzfeed.
