"I originally wanted to go to school for journalism because I thought it was cool or something. I took the intro class and HATED it, so I decided to do Comm because there were a bunch of classes about pop culture, which is what I really like. I quickly learned you didn’t have to go to school for journalism to write," he explained. Stopera began his online media career as an intern at BuzzFeed in August 2008. The website was still in its infancy, with only two other editorial employees on staff.〔("Matt Stopera: Senior Editor at BuzzFeed" ) ''How Did You Get That Job?''.

Retrieved 25 November 2015.〕 Stopera has since written thousands of listicles for the site, many of them 1990s nostalgia themed, which inspired former Gawker editor Max Read to call Stopera BuzzFeed's "chief 90s-rememberer."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Oatmeal Sucks, Even if Buzzfeed Was Wrong )〕 Many of his stories like “25 Extremely Upsetting Reactions to Chris Brown at the Grammys," “40 Things That Will Make You Feel Old," and “the 45 Most Powerful Images of 2011" garnered millions of page views, which led ''BusinessWeek'' to suggest he had "broken a code." However, a report by Gawker found that many of his posts were later taken down.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Over 4,000 BuzzFeed Posts Have Completely Disappeared )〕 Ben Smith said that the deleted posts were “corrected” after Gawker pointed out, in 2012, that they insufficiently credited other websites.〔 Stopera lives in Alphabet City with actress Ilana Glazer, whom he met in his first week of college and has lived with ever since.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Id Girls )〕 ==Brother Orange== In February 2014, Stopera lost his iPhone in a New York City bar. After buying a new one, he noticed bizarre images of a Chinese man posing next to a grove of orange trees. After writing a story about his experience on BuzzFeed, users on the Chinese social media site Weibo helped track down the man who took the photos.〔 Stopera met the man in China, calling him "Brother Orange." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matt Stopera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
