The wider separation of the Huffington Post and the rest of AOL, however, has fueled questions about the Huffington Post’s long-term future at the company. Ms. Huffington said Thursday that she had been approached by private-equity firms interested in buying the Huffington Post, although the overtures went nowhere. She said she had no intention of leaving. Her relationship with Mr. Armstrong is fine, and “all is good,” she said. The change in Ms. Huffington’s role comes as AOL is facing a proxy battle with activist shareholder Starboard Value LP, which has criticized Mr. Armstrong’s strategy of investing heavily in online content. – via the WSJ
