Arianna Huffington Developing Blog Featuring Celebs and Media Insiders

Posted on April 4, 2005

Business2.0 reports that Arianna Huffington is putting together a webzine called the Huffington Report that will feature blogging from some top celebrity and media names including Tina Brown, Barry Diller, David Geffen and Gwyneth Paltrow. The website is expected to soft launch later this month. Business2.0 says:

Based in New York and staffed with a full complement of editors, the Huffington Report appears to be a culture and politics webzine in the classic mold of Salon or Slate. It will have breaking news, a media commentary section called "Eat the Press," and its most interesting innovation, a group blog manned by the cultural and media elite: Sen. Jon Corzine, Larry David, Barry Diller, Tom Freston, David Geffen, Vernon Jordan, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Harry Evans and his wife, Tina Brown. That's just to name a few, and Huffington is still recruiting.

Note: This news blog later became The Huffington Post.
