Arianna Huffington ambitious ‘internet newspaper

March 30, 2008 · · 1 Comment

Since plans three years ago to launch the blog The Huffington Post were announced, it has grown in ways that few people, except perhaps founder Arianna Huffington, expected, The New York Times reports.

The HuffPost, as it’s known, has come to symbolize a certain combination of entrepreneur and online commentator, creating a brand and a business around Ms. Huffington. But she and her co-founder, Kenneth Lerer, have broader aspirations. In the last 12 months, they have introduced new content areas devoted to subjects like entertainment and business, and they have three more — international news, sports and books — coming soon. …

This summer the site will take an ambitious step by introducing its version of a metropolitan section: local versions for major cities….

The plan will put The Huffington Post into competition with existing newspapers and, arguably, with companies like Yahoo, AOL and CNN.com.

    If Obama wins the elections in November it would give back to Amerika a lost moral credibilety but if he looses because of his colour then we are back to square one
