Dan Froomkin hired by The Huffington Post

It is not journalism that is dying -- only the staid, establishment-serving, stenography model of the WashPost.

    Something HuffPo needed

    This is a very encouraging development for Huffington Post. I had been avoiding it because of its Obama cheerleading. If Froomkin does indeed have editorial freedom there, he will be a good reason to visit, although I'm pretty sure I'll only be reading his work. It's been so long since I've visited, but I also seem to recall that they are very heavy-handed on moderating comments. Will Dan be able to control the moderation of his pieces as Glenn does here?

    This sounds like a tremendous opportunity for Dan. I presume he didn't have a staff (or at least as much of one) at WaPoo. Is there any word on a start date yet?
