The Huffington Post: Yay, or No Way?
Contributor

When I agreed to take part in the Huffington Post's Divorce Page event, "The Moment I Knew," I was so focused on getting over my fears about publicly writing about my divorce, I neglected to focus on the larger issue of The Huffington Post and what it means for writers.  

Several of you pointed out the current boycott of the site, by writers who object to the HuffPo's policy of not paying it's contributors -- made particularly outrageous, to some, by founder Arianna Huffington's cashing out for a cool three hundred million a few months ago.  (One unpaid writer has initiated a class-action suit to the tune of $105M.) Others of you have found that blogging for The Huffington Post does actually pay the dividends it promises: it provides a platform and a large audience that gives writers a platform and wide exposure that materially helps their careers.

 

What do you think?  Inquiring minds would really like to know!  Weigh on the DISCUSSION FORUM I created for the subject (no comments will appear here).
