What has the The Huffington Post taught you about what the future of journalism may look like?
AH: I believe in a hybrid journalistic future where traditional newspapers adopt the best elements of online journalism, and new media sites continue to do more and more of the kinds of investigative reporting usually associated only with traditional media outlets.

What are three lessons traditional media organizations could learn from the The Huffington Post?
AH: The value of immediacy, transparency, and the willingness to have a strong point of view.

What tips do you have for people or organizations who would like to start a similar site?
AH: Go for it — and don’t listen to your critics. Find your own voice and point-of-view, trust in them, and stick to your guns.
