The Huffington Post

HuffPost (formerly The Huffington Post; often abbreviated as HuffPo) is an American progressive news website. News website with national and international editions. Politics, business, entertainment, the environment, technology, popular media, lifestyle, culture, comedy, healthy living, women's interests, and local news are all covered by the site's columnists. It was founded to offer a progressive alternative to conservative news websites like the Drudge Report. The site features content that has been posted directly on the site as well as user-generated content in the form of video blogging, audio, and photos. The website was the first commercially run digital media enterprise in the United States to win a Pulitzer Prize in 2012.

The site was founded on May 9, 2005, as a competitor to the Drudge Report by Andrew Breitbart, Arianna Huffington, Kenneth Lerer, and Jonah Peretti. In March 2011, AOL paid $315 million for it, making Arianna Huffington editor-in-chief. In June 2015, Verizon Communications paid $4.4 billion for AOL, and the site became part of Verizon Media. BuzzFeed will buy the company in November 2020. Within weeks of the acquisition, BuzzFeed laid off 47 HuffPost employees in the United States (mostly journalists) and closed down HuffPost Canada, laying off 23 employees from the company's Canadian and Quebec divisions.
