HuffPost has launched a three-tiered membership program in an effort to raise funds and provide readers with “a way to support our free, award-winning journalism at a time when the free press is under attack, while gaining a more elevated reading experience and membership perks,” says Kate Palmer, executive editor of the online news site.
The program grew out of a successful effort to garner voluntary contributions in 2023.

HuffPost has been in the news recently due to a staff reduction affecting over 30 newsroom employees, some of whom are being offered voluntary buyouts, and the subsequent resignation of Danielle Belton, editor in chief.
HuffPost says it reaches 60 million monthly readers.
