VANCOUVER: Online media outlet BuzzFeed said that it is closing its Ottawa bureau as it moves away from covering Canadian political news, in a broader editorial revamp that will also see its Toronto team work more closely with editors in New York. 

"With the 2015 Canadian federal election behind us, we are wrapping up our Canadian political coverage," Scott Lamb, vice president of international editorial, said in a memo to staff that was provided to Reuters by BuzzFeed. He added that BuzzFeed's Ottawa staff have been offered opportunities with the company in Washington, D.C.
