Huffington post if far from serious newspaper/media.They are yellow journalism. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism</a>
They exaggerates news in order to grab eyeballs. And their "liberal" attributes biased their stances a lot too.
All her talk of integrity, and yet HuffPo writes articles on Uber while she sits on their board. Where are the amazing journalists of our day? Where is the modern day Murrow or Cronkite?<p>On another note does anyone know any good Indian journalists? Or is the term an oxymoron :P ?
I'm sure she feels like she's done enough to destroy discourse on the internet and she has her sights set on destroying some other vital pillar of our civilization to increase her personal fortune further.
I was an engineer at HuffPost. I believe the departure of Arianna is going to have a huge impact on the organization. Whether that's net positive or negative, only time will tell.<p>Many of the company's significant initiatives seemed to come out in unpredictable bursts from the brain trust that formed Arianna's staff. The nominal product and engineering leadership was charged with implementing these initiatives, but subject to rapidly changing priorities. A lot of work was launched under time pressure and then scrapped shortly afterward.<p>To be fair, a lot of the instincts behind those priorities were pretty ambitious and forward-thinking. But totally disconnected from the work of implementation. There's an opportunity to retain the positive aspects that kept HuffPost on the cutting edge (at least in some ways) and reform the churn and top-down approach. Or maybe the road is clear for the company to be fully assimilated into the Verizonscape.
I'm beginning to think that "corporate and consumer well-being and productivity" might be the next big thing, and it's already here. There are incredible opportunities in this space, like biohacking, supplements, self-testing (blood, brain function, etc), computer-assisted learning and meditation, diets and just plain old food a level beyond "organic" (i.e. known origin, local, glyphosate free soil, "grass fed" etc).
