Dive summary:

- Agencies who participate in the program will receive accreditation that includes a badge to place on their website and other materials.
From the article:
"'Accredited' agencies will be able to post stories directly to the BuzzFeed site, although BuzzFeed staffers will review the content before it's made live, and have access to a full suite of analytics via a new tool called BuzzFeed Platform."
