The Huffington Post UK: Masterstroke or Misstep?

A few weeks ago, an interesting proposition landed in my inbox: would I be interested in contributing to the politics section of the soon-to-be launched Huffington Post UK?

To be clear, when I say the proposition was interesting, I don’t mean I was interested in accepting it: as a general rule, I try to only write for free when I have something to promote. I mean I was interested to learn that Arianna Huffington and Aol were willing to direct time and resources into launching HuffPost UK: a project that, if you believe some UK media critics, is so clearly doomed to failure.

Now that the News of the World has gone perhaps it can fill the gap left in the market.  There again, it's owned by AOL which everybody regards as a joke.

I thought the Sun On Sunday had already filled the gap in the market.  ::)
