Gruppo Espresso and Huffington Post Media Group announce agreement to set up a L'Huffington Post Italia joint venture
Gruppo Espresso and The Huffington Post Media Group
announce their agreement to set up a joint venture to
launch L'Huffington Post Italia, the Italian edition of The
Huffington Post, one of America's leading information
websites. The partnership is based on the powerful
Huffington Post platform combined with the
authoritativeness of Gruppo Espresso.
The joint venture is currently selecting an editorial team
in preparation for the launch of the new site, which will
be online in 2012.
The joint announcement is made by Arianna Huffington,
President and Editor-in-Chief of The Huffington Post Media
Group, and by Monica Mondardini, Managing Director of
Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso.
L'Huffington Post Italia will benefit from all the
editorial skill and leadership of Gruppo Espresso as well
as from the highly successful formula of The Huffington
Post, which combines reporting, a mix of content and
cutting-edge interaction systems, as well as a vibrant,
state-of-the-art blogging platform.
With this operation, Gruppo Espresso - which already
reaches a monthly audience of 10.1 million unique users
((Audiweb data panel, November 2011) and which, with
Repubblica.it, already holds the top spot in online
information in Italian - is giving a further important
boost to its own development on digital platforms with both
the innovation and the international scope of this
initiative.
The Huffington Post is part of The Huffington Post Media
Group, a prime mover in publishing, entertainment, and
digital information and communities, which together with
The Huffington Post also includes Moviefone, Engadget,
TechCrunch, Patch and StyleList. The Group's network of
sites combines journalism, technology, personal engagement
and video to reach large audiences on each platform. The
Group has over 20,000 bloggers - politicians, celebrities,
scholars, and opinion-makers - who have their say in real
time on the day's latest news. They include such names as
Nora Ephron, Larry Page, Bernard-Henri Levy, Bill Maher,
Robert Redford, Madonna, Alec Baldwin, Scarlett Johansson,
Bill Gates and Charlie Rose. The Huffington Post has 36
million unique visitors a month (comScore, December 2011).
The Huffington Post UK and The Huffington Post Canada have
been launched this year. The Huffington Post will be
launched in France this Monday, the Huffington Post Quebec
in February and the Spanish edition of the Huffington Post
will come out in March.
