AOL buys The Huffington Post for $315 millionJim Romenesko by Jim Romenesko Published Feb. 7, 2011 7:32 am Updated Feb. 7, 2011 9:15 am
New York TimesArianna Huffington will take control of all of AOL's editorial content as president and editor-in-chief of a newly created Huffington Post Media Group. "The deal carries a risk for The Huffington Post, which has had none of AOL's troubles and is widely viewed as a business success with its own unique voice and identity," write Jeremy Peters and Verne Kopytoff. "Now that it is to become part of a large corporate entity, what becomes of that unique character is an open question." || Read Arianna's post about the deal, and the press release. || Kara Swisher interviews Huffington and AOL CEO Tim Armstrong.
