Huffington Post UK - News and Ownership

Huffington Post UK News


  • The news other Huffington Post UK is centred around political and world news although there is clear defined sections to other "soft" news such as celebrity and sport, although this is not as clear as it is on other major news publication websites such and Daily Mail and The Sun.
  • Not set out like a newspaper as it has no connection to an actual physical edition.
  • Reflects the technological change in news production and online generally as it is set out like a tablet or a series of apps.

Huffington Post UK Ownership

  • The UK edition was launched in 2011 after a successful American edition which became one of the biggest online news providers in the US.
  • Was founded by Arianna Huffington in May 2005 and has become the biggest political commentary and news site in America.
  • AOL bought the Huffington Post in 2011 for $315 Million and therefore the ownership has clearly changed, although the editorial line has remained unchanged throughout that period.
