The Huffington Post - Luke Littlechild
June 2013
Established in 2005 by Arianna
Huffington, Kenneth
Lerer, Andrew
Breitbart and Jonah Peretti. The Huffington Post was launched on May 9, 2005 as a liberal/left commentary
outlet and alternative to news aggregators such as the Drudge Report.
In 2012, The Huffington Post became the first commercially run,
United States digital media enterprise to win a Pulitzer
Prize.
In July 2012, The Huffington Post was ranked #1 on the 15 Most Popular
Political Sites list by eBizMBA
Rank, which bases its list on each site's Alexa Global Traffic Rank and U.S.
Traffic Rank
It has an
active community, with over one million comments made on the site each month.
The site has now invested in video
blogging, with many of the site contributors contributing via video, capturing
clips in the media and posting them on the site.
In November 2008, The
Huffington Post completed $15
million fundraising from investors to finance expansion, including more
journalism and the provision of local news across the United States.
