The UK editorial team for Buzzfeed is to expand by more than a quarter.

Buzzfeed is advertising for 14 new positions on the Buzzfeed UK editorial team, which will expand the current team by more than a quarter.

Four of the 14 positions are listed as "regional beat reporter" jobs.

Buzzfeed was launched in the UK in March 2013, with just three editorial staff.

Currently, Buzzfeed UK has around 50 editorial staff.

The popular website was founded in the United States in 2006, nearly 10 years ago.

Buzzfeed UK will have 64 editorial staff when the new positions are filled; 40% of those will be working in news.

Recently, Buzzfeed UK employed Janine Gibson and Stuart Millar from The Guardian as editor in chief and special correspondent respectively.

Former Sunday Times Insight Journalist Heidi Blake also joined Buzzfeed UK, with Michael Gillard.

As well as regional reporters, Buzzfeed UK is also advertising for a weekend editor and a business editor.
