The Huffington Post, now published as HuffPost, is an American news and commentary website founded in 2005 by Arianna Huffington and others. It publishes news, politics, culture, and opinion, and built its early reach on a large contributor network.
The Huffington Post was acquired by AOL in 2011 and later passed to Verizon and then to BuzzFeed in 2021. In its contributor-driven era it was a common platform for practitioner-written commentary, and 📝Cynthia Johnson's writing on branding and marketing appeared among its bylines.
