"HuffPo is not a news organization at all, according to Greg Coleman, Huffington Post's president and chief revenue officer. He told Ad Age in 2010 that HuffP was a "social-media company" that exists to "help our marketers beam their messages throughout the internet, across the galaxy, the internet, and the world.""We make [corporations] part of the conversation," explained another HuffPo marketing executive in 2011. "We're acting as a social-media agency for our advertisers on The Huffington Post. We've become advisers to some of these companies about how to conduct the social-media outreach . . . We help them counter this sort of one-sided conversation that is going on on the Internet about their companies."
