History[edit]

The Huffington Postwas launched on May 9, 2005, as a commentary outlet, blog, and an alternative to news aggregators such as theDrudge Report.[20][21][4]It was founded byArianna Huffington,Andrew Breitbart,Kenneth Lerer,andJonah Peretti.[9]Prior to this, Arianna Huffington hosted the website Ariannaonline.com. Her first foray into the Internet was the website Resignation.com, which called for the resignation of PresidentBill Clintonand was a rallying place forconservativesopposing Clinton.[22]

An earlyHuffington Poststrategy was craftingsearch-engine optimized(SEO) stories and headlines based aroundtrending keywords,such as "What Time Is the Super Bowl?"[23]

In August 2006,The Huffington Postraised a $5 millionSeries A roundfromSoftBank CapitalandGreycroft.[24]

In December 2008,The Huffington Postraised $25 million fromOak Investment Partnersat a $100 million valuation andFred Harmanof Oak Investment Partners joined its board of directors.[25][26][27]The money was to be used for technology, infrastructure,investigative journalism,and development of local versions.[28][29]

In June 2009,Eric Hippeau,co-managing partner ofSoftbank Capital,became CEO ofThe Huffington Post.[30]

In January 2011,The Huffington Postreceived 35% of its traffic fromweb search engines(SEOs), compared to 20% atCNN.[31]This strategy appealed to AOL CEOTim Armstrong,who tried to implement similar SEO-driven journalism practices at AOL at the time of its acquisition ofThe Huffington Post.[32][33][31]

In March 2011,AOLacquiredThe Huffington PostforUS$315 million.[34][35]As part of the deal, Huffington became president and editor-in-chief ofThe Huffington Postand existing AOL propertiesEngadget,TechCrunch,Moviefone,MapQuest,Black Voices, PopEater (now HuffPost Celebrity),AOL Music,AOL Latino (nowHuffPost Voices), AutoBlog, Patch, and StyleList.[15]

In December 2011,The Huffington Postsaid it had 36.2 million unique visitors.[36]

The Huffington Postsubsumed many of AOL'sVoicesproperties, includingAOL Black Voices,which was established in 1995 asBlackvoices.com,andAOL Latino,Impact(launched in 2010 as a partnership betweenHuffington PostandCausecast),Women,Teen,College,Religion,and the Spanish-languageVoces (en español).TheVoicesbrand was expanded in September 2011 with the launch ofGay Voices,dedicated toLGBT-relevant articles.[37][38]

By late 2013, the website operated as a "stand-alone business" within AOL, taking control of more of its own business and advertising operations, and directing more effort towards securing "premium advertising".[39]

In June 2015,Verizon Communicationsacquired AOL for US$4.4 billion and the site became a part of Verizon Media.[16]

Huffington resigned to pursue other ventures and was succeeded as editor-in-chief byLydia Polgreenin December 2016.[40]

In April 2017,[41]Polgreen announced the company would rebrand, changing its official full name toHuffPost,[42]with changes to the design of its website and logo, and content and reporting.[43][44]

On January 24, 2019, 20 employees were laid off as a part of Verizon Media laying off 7% of its staff.[45]The opinion and health sections were eliminated.Pulitzer Prizefinalist Jason Cherkis lost his job.[46]

On March 6, 2020, Polgreen announced that she would step down as editor-in-chief to become the head of content atGimlet Media.[47]

In November 2020, HuffPost shut down its India operation after six years. According to some media reports, the acquisition did not include the India site due to regulations barring foreign ownership of Indian Digital Media.[48]

On February 16, 2021,BuzzFeedacquiredHuffPostfrom Verizon Media in a stock deal.[17][49]On March 9, 2021, BuzzFeed CEOJonah Perettisaid that the company had lost "around $20 million" during the previous year, andHuffPost Canadawas shut down and ceased publishing.[50] On April 12, 2021,Danielle Beltonbecame editor-in-chief.[51]

Following the gradual shut-down ofBuzzFeed Newsannounced in 2023, BuzzFeed, Inc. refocused its news efforts intoHuffPost,with plans to rehire pastBuzzFeed Newsemployees atHuffPostor at BuzzFeed.[52][53]

Criticism and controversy[edit]

Unpaid bloggers[edit]

The site originally published work from both paid reporters and unpaid bloggers through itscontributor platform.[91]

In February 2011, Visual Art Source, which had been cross-posting material from its website, went on strike againstThe Huffington Postto protest against its writers not being paid.[92][93]In March 2011, the strike and the call to boycott was joined and endorsed by theNational Writers UnionandNewsGuild-CWA;however, the boycott was dropped in October 2011.[94]

In April 2011,The Huffington Postwas targeted with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit byJonathan Tasinion behalf of thousands of bloggers who had submitted material to the website.[36][95]On March 30, 2012, the suit was dismissed withprejudiceby the court, holding that the bloggers had volunteered their services, their compensation being publication.[36]

In 2015,Wil Wheatonstated that he refused to allow his work to be reused for free on the site.[96][97]

The practice of publishing blog posts from unpaid contributors ended in January 2018. This transformed the site, which had become notable for featuring extensive sections in a broad range of subjects from a significant number of contributors.[98]Contributors had included:

Alternative medicine and anti-vaccination controversy[edit]

HuffPosthas been criticized for providing a platform foralternative medicineand supporters ofvaccine hesitancy,including in a detailed critique in 2009 by physician and author Rahul Parikh.[165]In 2020, biology professor and founder of the science blogPharyngulaaddressed hesitancy and other issues.[166]Steven Novella,president of theNew England Skeptical Society,criticizedThe Huffington Postfor allowinghomeopathyproponent Dana Ullman to have a blog on the site.[citation needed]In 2011, skepticBrian Dunninglisted it at No. 10 on his "Top 10 Worst Anti-Science Websites" list.[167]

Anne Sinclair appointed editorial director in France[edit]

In January 2012,The Huffington Postwas criticized for appointing as editorial director in France the well-known former TV journalistAnne Sinclair,because she stood by her husbandDominique Strauss-Kahn,formerIMFhead, when several women accused him of sexual assault. Commentators atl'Express,Rue89,andLe Mondewarned against potential conflict of interest in the French edition's news coverage.[168]

Apology by the South African edition[edit]

In April 2017,HuffPost South Africawas directed by the pressombudsmanto apologize unreservedly for publishing and later defending a column calling for disenfranchisement of white men, which was declared malicious, inaccurate and discriminatory hate speech.[169][170]

Jeffrey Epstein[edit]

In July 2019,HuffPostwas criticized for publishing a story written by Rachel Wolfson, a publicist, that praised financierJeffrey Epstein,a sex offender. Editors later removed the article at the author's request.[171]

Political stance[edit]

HuffPosthas been seen as a mostlyprogressive,liberalor liberal-leaning outlet,[1]being described as such by theBBC,[2]CNN,[3]andPolitico.[4]Upon becoming the editor-in-chief in December 2016,Lydia Polgreensaid that the "wave of intolerance and bigotry that seems to be sweeping the globe" after the election as US president ofDonald Trumpwas remarkable, and thatThe Huffington Posthad an "absolutely indispensable role to play in this era in human history."[40]

Commenting in 2012 on increasedconservativeengagement on the website despite its reputation as a liberal news source,The Huffington Postfounder Arianna Huffington stated that her website was "increasingly seen" as an Internet newspaper that is "not positioned ideologically in terms of how we cover the news".[172]According to Michael Steel, press secretary forRepublicanSpeaker of the HouseJohn Boehner,Republican aides "engage with liberal websites likeThe Huffington Post[anyway, if for] no other reason than [because] they drive a lot of cable coverage ".[172]Jon Bekken, journalism professor atSuffolk University,has cited it as an example of an "advocacy newspaper".[173]The Wall Street JournaleditorJames Tarantohas mockingly referred to it as the "Puffington Host",whileRush Limbaughreferred to it as the "Huffing and Puffington Post".[174]

During the2016 United States presidential election,HuffPostregularly appended an editor's note to the end of stories about candidate Donald Trump, reading: "Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims—1.6 billion members of an entire religion—from entering the U.S." After Trump was elected on November 8, 2016,HuffPostended this practice to "give respect to the office of the presidency."[175][176]
