Huffington Post Launches New Local Page for DC Region

HuffPost DC, a new blog about the DC region, launched Thursday.

It's one of six local blogs run by the Huffington Post. Besides Washington, DC, the other cities to have their own HuffPost pages are San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles.

"With a combination of original reporting, comprehensive curation, and a group blog that will function as a virtual public square for the city's diverse voices, HuffPost DC will ... allow our reporters and bloggers to stay on the local and regional stories that matter most to Washingtonians and their neighbors," Arianna Huffington wrote in an introductory blog post.

"HuffPost DC will also offer comprehensive local coverage of the glittering aspects of life in our nation's capital—from fundraisers, food, and fashion to sports, business, culture, and real estate. And to ensure the most comprehensive coverage of stories of regional interest, the HuffPost DC team will be showcasing stories from the surrounding Patches in Maryland and Virginia," Huffington added.
