Huffington To Keynote Radio Ink's Forecast 2011
Radio Ink is pleased to announced that Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor-in-chief of the influential Huffington Post and co-host of public radio's Left, Right & Center, will provide the luncheon keynote at Radio Ink's Forecast 2011, to be held December 7, 2010 at the Harvard Club in New York. "Arianna's appearance is significant not only because of her political influence and ideals, but because she has built a media company with the Huffington Post that some say has a market cap and readership higher than the New York Times," Radio Ink Publisher/CEO Eric Rhoads said. "She is a beacon of what a new media company can become and is one who can show radio the importance of a commitment and significant investment in a new media strategy."
Huffington, the author of 13 books including most recently On Becoming Fearless in Love, Work, and Life and Fanatics and Fools: The Game Plan for Winning Back America, launched the Huffington Post news and blog site in 2005, and it quickly became one of the Web's most-read and most-cited destinations.
Huffington is also a sought-after political commentator who has guested on such shows as Charlie Rose, Hardball, Good Morning America, Today, and The O'Reilly Factor. In 2006, she was named to Time magazine's "Time 100" list of the world's 100 most influential people.
Radio Ink VP/GM Deborah Parenti said, "Ms. Huffington will address Forecast right on the heels of what is shaping up to be a contentious election, one which could also alter the political landscape over the next two years. Her remarks are bound to provoke a lot of thoughtful discussion among an audience for whom such perspective is always valuable as they chart their company's course for 2011."
As previously announced, Andrew Ross Sorkin, the chief mergers and acquisitions reporter for the New York Times and host of United Stations Radio Networks' "Business Brief With Andrew Ross Sorkin," will give the morning keynote address at Forecast 2011. He and Huffington are part of an exciting and fast-growing lineup of speakers and panelists who'll cover all the aspects of what radio can anticipate in 2011. About Forecast
