Journalism Futures 6

How many journalists work at the Huffington Post?

One of the more difficult answers to pin down!

The Huffington post US, in its list of staff, claims to have between 60 and 100 editors, many of them editing specialised content on various parts of the website; business, celebrity, culture etc. These also include those who are employed to work on the regional editions, such as Miami, LA, Detroit among others. With regard to reporters however, there are 47 present on the staffing register, all specialising in a specific area, with nearly half of them (21) employed to write on their politics team.

In contrast, The Huffington Post UK shows to have zero reporters working in house, with 18 editors and assistant editors making up their total staff numbers.
