Huffpo Club

Started: 2010

The Huffington Post Union of Bloggers (Huffpo Club) is a website.

Origins

Huffpo Club was launched^{[By whom?]} in 2010 as a non-profit Nevadacorporation affiliated with Local 1981 of the National Writers Union in the wake of Arriana Huffington's sale of the popular HuffingtonPost.com website to AOL. At that time, bloggers who had freely contributed thousands of articles to Huffpo felt betrayed. In 2011, the bloggers sued the Huffington Post, arguing that they had a right to a portion of the hundreds of millions of dollars paid by AOL Time Warner to purchase the website because their contributions built the Huffington Post into a successful media behemoth. Their case was ultimately lost because the courts ruled that no one forced the bloggers to repeatedly volunteer content with no expectation of being paid. Since then, HPUB http://www.hpub.org ended its affiliation with the NWU but continues to publish high quality news articles, editorials, blogs, interviews and other media on an hourly basis year round. A more recent companion website http://www.huffingtonpostforum.com also aggregates under-reported political and geopolitical topics and updates automatically every few hours. Both websites publish or link to original source documents that often challenge conventional wisdom about current affairs. Thousands of authors, some of the anonymous, have had their work published or republished at http://www.hpub.org, which is neither leftwing nor alt-right nor does it screen, review or edit content before publication, except in rare cases.

Support for the Occupy Movement, Wikileaksand 9/11 Inquiry

In 2010 HPUB announced that “Writers and bloggers of Huffigtonpost.com, past and present, paid and unpaid, satisfied and outraged, come and join us here. We didnt like Huffington Post’s slide to tabloid journalism and we dont approve of the AOL takeover. 9,000 bloggers didn’t spend their time and effort building Huffpo’s content so that the website could be taken over by people with a very different agenda.” “Why the Huffington Post ‘Fired’ Me.” begins with: Last Thursday, I was ‘fired’ as a labor blogger from the Huffington Post by executive business editor Peter Goodman for helping a group of union construction workers disrupt a conference of bankers. (I put fired in quotations marks because I, like the majority of people who blog for the site, was not paid for my contributions.)
