HuffPost axes local team, disables Australian website
Buzzfeed has swung the axe through HuffPost’s Australian newsroom, once again leaving the title without a local editorial team, a week after it made almost 30% of its US newsroom redundant and shuttered its Canadian operations, and a month after acquiring the media brand from Verizon.
The HuffPost Australia website was shut off yesterday, Mumbrella can reveal, with the homepage confirming that “as of March 17, HuffPost Australia will no longer be publishing content. Existing content will be maintained as an online archive; however, certain site features have been permanently disabled”. The message directs readers to the global website.
