HuffPost Live will “essentially shutter” its Los Angeles studio, Ben Popper reports. “Some of those losing their positions on the West Coast will be offered the opportunity to move east and join the HuffPost Live team in New York,” Popper writes.
The Huffington Post launched HuffPost Live, an online TV channel, last August. At the time, Brian Stelter called it “one of the most ambitious attempts yet to rethink what television should look and feel like when streamed over the Internet.” The initiative also has a studio in Washington, Stelter wrote.
The channel announced Wednesday it would focus on “world coverage, including a daily hour-long look at the stories sparking conversations around the globe — featuring contributions from editors and reporters from HuffPost’s 7 (soon to be 10) international editions,” Kara Swisher wrote.
