If Huffpo's not making money, who is?
is fond of calling itself "the internet newspaper." And it is like an increasing number of actual newspapers in one important regard: the direction of its cash flow. That would be out, not in.
Yes, it turns out that, despite some early noises about crossing into the black -- and despite The Daily Show's jokes about how a newspaper like The New York Times could only dream of making "Huffington Post money" -- Huffpo is still in what is euphemistically known as investment mode, according to the New York Observer. Getting it from there to let's-all-buy-polo-ponies mode is the job of new CEO Eric Hippeau.
(Speaking of euphemisms, how refreshing was it that Hippeau's predecessor, Betsy Morgan, dispensed with the usual lines about how her departure was a mutual decision and admitted to Fortune that she was canned?)
