As newspapers are really struggling to transition over to the online world, it seems as though the Huffington Post is going from strength to strength. The Huffington Post is already live in the USA, Canada and UK and is preparing to launch in France before the end of the year.
The Huffington Post has partnered with Le Monde and Les Nouvelles Editions Indépendantes (LNEI) to launch ‘Le Huffington Post’, a French edition of the news and opinion portal. The new joint venture is currently recruiting editors to prepare for a launch before the end of 2011.
The Huffington Post has finally launched their UK edition and I think it is going to be big. Here in the UK there are very few independent news sources, so expect the Huffington Post to be the main player in this market.
On the US version of the Huffington Post they already receive over 1.2 million visitors each month from the UK. They have launched with only 300 bloggers is their system and this is far short of the 10,000 writing on the USA version. However, Im sure this will quickly increase.
As well as the UK expansion the Huffington Post is planning on entering a lot of other European markets in their native languages, so expect to see the Huffington Post all over the place!
