Huffington Post in Limbo Under New Owner Verizon

New York Times: Verizon has said that the primary reason for its purchase of AOL was the Internet company’s advertising technology, so it is not completely clear what it might want with The Huffington Post. It also is unclear whether the famously independent Arianna Huffington will be comfortable operating within Verizon. Her contract expired this year, and she has yet to sign a new one, which raises the prospect of a Huffington Post without a Huffington. The site in a kind of limbo as each side prepares for the close of the deal, expected next month. AOL and Verizon execs are meeting this week to discuss a range of issues, including the future of The Huffington Post.
