HuffPost Taps Danielle Belton as New Editor in Chief After Yearlong Vacancy
HuffPost is set to announce its new editor in chief, ending a months-long search that has left the top job at the liberal online publication empty for a year.
Sources with knowledge confirmed to The Daily Beast that the site is tapping Danielle Belton, the current editor-in-chief at The Root—G/O Media’s Black-focused news and culture outlet—for the top job.
A spokesperson for HuffPost and its new owner BuzzFeed declined to comment, but an internal memo obtained by The Daily Beast confirmed Belton’s appointment.
