Huffington Post to launch German edition
A newsroom staffed with German journalists will be set up in the southern city of Munich in the coming months, and the site for Germany, Austria and Switzerland is set to go live later this year, both companies said.
The free-access site, which offers a mix of news, blogs and gossip, was founded by Arianna Huffington, the editor-in-chief. It already has local versions in Britain, Canada, France, Italy and Spain and plans to launch a Japanese edition in May.
The US news site, part of AOL, has previously indicated it wants to turn a profit from advertising revenues within two years in Germany.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Tomorrow Focus to launch the German edition of the Huffington Post," said Huffington in a statement.
"Tomorrow Focus is deeply involved in virtually every sector of digital content in Germany, and there is no one we'd rather be partnering with for this expansion."
