HuffPo launches Italian edition with La Repubblica publisher
US news and blog site the
Huffington Post Wednesday announced the latest in a line of new editions in
countries which has already included the UK, France and Spain, with the
launch of L'Huffington Post in Italy. Huffington Post is working in partnership with the publisher of La
Repubblica, Gruppo Espresso, to produce the new site, edited by Italian
journalist Lucia Annunziata. The Huffington Post's UK edition celebrated its first birthday in July,
and other recent launches include a Spanish edition in partnership with
El Pais in June this year, and a French edition in October last year, in
partnership with Le Monde and Les Nouvelles Editions Independantes.
According to the Post its UK edition recorded more than four million
unique visitors for the first time in August this year, said to be based
on figures from comScore. In a post announcing the launch of the Italian version of the site,
president and editor-in-chief of the AOL Huffington Post Media Group,
Arianna Huffington said "we'll be using all the tools at our disposal to
tell the most important - and most entertaining - stories of our time".
"And, just as important, help Italians tell their stories themselves.
And since Italy's 35.8 million Internet users make up nearly 59 per cent
of the population, it's our hope that L'HuffPost will help expand the
conversation at a time when Italians are looking to each other and their
communities - both online and offline - for the empathy, ingenuity and
creativity that will lead to the real solutions the country needs." (Journalism.co.uk)
