In Media Res, Focusing Equally on Media and Res

Writing the first article on a new site is simple. Explain what you are doing.

On The Blog Now

Welcome to the Huffington Post, which, as our motto says, has been delivering news and opinion since, well, a few hours ago. As you look around, you’ll see that our front page features our favorite posts from our group bloggers — including Senator Jon Corzine, Larry David, John Cusack and Walter Cronkite — and the top news headlines of the moment. If you are hungry for more, you can always get your fill at The Blog and the News Wire where fresh posts and news stories are added 24/7. And don’t forget to check out Eat the Press, Harry Shearer’s spicy dish about the media. So come in and make yourself at home.
