Perlberg leaving BuzzFeed, moving to Germany

Steven Perlberg

BuzzFeed reporter Steven Perlberg sent out the following email on Monday:

Dear friends, sources, source-friends, colleagues, professional acquaintances, and enemies:
After a great two years, I’m leaving BuzzFeed News at the end of the year. The next stop: I’m moving to… Berlin!
I’ll be freelance reporting about the usual things — media and politics — but also on plenty of new European topics too. Which reminds me: Editors, if you are reading this, I’d love to write for you.
The best way to reach me going forward is at stevenperlberg@gmail.com. My DMs are always open on Twitter, and you can expect lots of travel photos on Instagram, if that’s your thing. My cell, for now, is still xxx-xxx-xxxx, but I’ll have a new German number soon.
Finally, I’d like to say a huge thanks to everyone who has been so helpful during my 5+ years in New York, from friends and sources to amazing colleagues at Business Insider, The Wall Street Journal, and BuzzFeed News. If you’re ever in Berlin, please drop me a line.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen,
Steven
