Arianna Huffington

Arianna launched the Huffington Post (huffingtonpost.com), the online media platform, in 2005. The company was acquired by AOL in 2011 and was the first online-only news organization to win the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 2012. Arianna has written more than a dozen books on topics including feminism, Maria Callas, Picasso, and Greek mythology. Her most recent book, Thrive (thrive.huffingtonpost.com), is about well-being.

Arianna speaks with Jessica Harris about how she helped legitimize the blogosphere by building the Huffington Post, from scratch.
