Verizon announced it acquired AOL for $4.4 billion. The place of the Huffington Post does not seem obvious in the new organization. Charlie Warzel and William Alden, reporting for BuzzFeed:
What’s more, within the Verizon empire, the Huffington Post may lose some of its strategic appeal for AOL. The site is currently used by AOL to syndicate its truckloads of video content. But Verizon has its own distribution network in the form of phones and cables, which could potentially make the Huffington Post’s platform less important.
