Vancouver, April 15 (IANS) The Huffington Post, which was recently acquired by AOL for $315 million, is expanding to Canada.
Confirming this to the local Vancouver Sun newspaper, Craig Kanalley, senior editor (traffic & trends) at the Huffington Post, said the web site will localize to expand in the Canadian market. This will be the first foreign foray of the popular news web site which claims over 1.5 million readers in Canada.
The Canadian foray comes after AOL’s announcement last month to expand the web site with a UK homepage.
In a job posting on social networking site LinkedIn Thursday, AOL Canada said, ‘Calling all news junkies. We need the best of the best at the helm to plan, execute and manage the day-to-day responsibilities of the national news strategy for one of the most exciting media brands online today.
‘Over 1.5 million Canadians are already HuffPost readers. We want to keep them reading by coupling the best content they already know and love with a fresh new take on Canadian news and politics, featuring the best Canadian names as our contributors.”
Ariana Huffington, who launched the web site in 2005, has been appointed as editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post Media Group by AOL after its acquisition earlier this year.
