Klein and Yglesias of Vox sat down with the president in January. Their interview will be published online Monday morning. Smith, the editor and chief of BuzzFeed, will speak with the president at the White House tuesday. These interviews are an indication that Vox and BuzzFeed are emerging as serious news organizations. Also this shows that the Obama administration is making an effort to connect with millennials and broaden its reach beyond traditional media outlets. Obama will also participate in a video shoot with BuzzFeed's new video production unit.BuzzFeed has invited users to submit questions for the president before the interview, and plans to post the video of Mr. Obama exclusively to Facebook. For both BuzzFeed and Vox, the interviews represent a significant step forward for new digital media organizations, which continue to encroach on territory once reserved for print and broadcast news outlets.
