AOL’s Huffington to Add News Staff in Local Site Revamp [Bloomberg]

AOL Inc. (AOL), seeking to revive sales growth after buying the
Huffington Post, is hiring as many as 800 full-time employees at
local-news operations across the country and reducing the use of
freelancers. Arianna Huffington, the Huffington Post co-founder who
became the editor-in-chief of AOL’s media operations, said she intends
to increase content at the company’s Patch websites covering about 800
local markets nationwide. AOL may hire as many as one full-time
journalist per Patch site, though the final number hasn’t been
decided.
