BuzzFeed News fired its White House Correspondent on Wednesday after a coworker alleged he sent an inappropriate message. Mittenthal added: “This followed a recent reminder about our prohibition against inappropriate communications. We're committed to ensuring that BuzzFeed remains a place where everyone is treated respectfully by his or her peers." Carrasquillo, according to a LinkedIn profile of the same name, had been at the media company since 2013, and took on the role of White House Correspondent in November 2016. BuzzFeed began investigating some employees in November following harassment complaints from staffers, according to reports from Business Insider.
