In 2012 a section titled\u00a0Libraries in Crisis<\/a>\u00a0was created to examine the role of libraries in today\u2019s society. The section\u2019s first series was titled\u00a0The Death Of The Public Library?<\/em><\/a>, and it has been somewhat controversial among LIS professionals, with a\u00a0Hack Library School post<\/a>\u00a0noting, \u201cI understand that stories of library closures are much sexier than the latest controversies with Overdrive, but if we want to see the libraries as a national tradition continue, we need to step away from the extremism and start proving what we are capable of. Let\u2019s see some library success stories on this page, too.\u201d<\/p>\n Frequency of publication:<\/strong>\u00a0Updated daily.<\/p>\n Location of submission guidelines:\u00a0<\/strong>How to Pitch HuffPost<\/a><\/p>\n Types of contributions accepted:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cHuffPost is seeking to elevate writers from a wide range of backgrounds, including those who are BIPOC, LGBTQ, people with disabilities, and writers from other underrepresented communities.\u201d4<\/sup><\/p>\n The categories for submissions are Enterprise pieces, which are \u201coriginal, unique, reported stories,\u201d5<\/sup>\u00a0Personal pieces, which are \u201coriginal, authentic, compelling, and told from the first person,\u201d6<\/sup>\u00a0and Life pieces which are pieces that serve as a \u201cno-BS guide to modern parenting, wellness, food, money, work, relationships, and more.\u201d7<\/sup><\/p>\n Submission and review process:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cPitches should include a working headline, two or three paragraphs that outline why you think the story matters, with some indication of how you plan to report and tell the story (e.g. sources, key characters or narrative event).

The\u00a0Libraries<\/a>\u00a0section would be a great place to discuss library efforts and updates, technological and otherwise, and news from the LIS sector, with a readership who is truly interested.\u00a0HuffPost\u00a0<\/em>would also be\u00a0a good place to suggest and write about books for review.<\/p>\n Publication circulation:<\/strong>\u00a0No circulation information provided.<\/p>\n Audience location and language or cultural considerations:<\/strong>\u00a0Based out of the US, the site has local editions such as\u00a0HuffPost<\/em>\u00a0San Francisco and Chicago; as well as international versions covering Canada, France, Italy, Spain and the UK.9<\/sup>\u00a0The US version is written in American English; culturally the site is considered a left-leaning publication, with special attention to U.S. political and entertainment news.<\/p>\n Reader characteristics:<\/strong>\u00a0HuffPost<\/em>\u00a0was created in 2005 and became known as a liberal website for commentary\/and alternative to more right-wing sites such as the Drudge Report & Fox News. Although founder\/creator Arianna Huffington is careful to note that the site does not consciously lean in either party direction, the site has a more left-leaning feel.10<\/sup><\/p>\n Knowledge of LIS subject matter:<\/strong>\u00a0Although readers are educated and\u00a0HuffPost<\/em>\u00a0has a special library section, this site is more informal information and entertainment, not really the place for LIS jargon. If submitting a query or blog for the Books\/Library section, the focus is more on specific voice or activity, not the formal academic jargon commonly found in LIS publications.<\/p>\n Readers are interested in what\u2019s going on with US libraries, and in discussing the most recent books and book news. While articles are not scholarly in tone, this site would most likely welcome posts written by LIS students as long as the topic is interesting and appealing to\u00a0HuffPost\u00a0<\/em>readers.<\/p>\n Last updated:\u00a0<\/b>September 29, 2020<\/p>\n Publication analysis About the publication Title:\u00a0HuffPost\u00a0(formerly called\u00a0Huffington Post) ISSN:\u00a0N\/A Website:\u00a0HuffPost Homepage Purpose, objective, or mission:\u00a0\u201cAt HuffPost, we report with empathy and put\u00a0people\u00a0at the heart of every story.
