Montserrat Domínguez to be Editor-at-Large of 'El Huffington Post'

Journalist Montserrat Domínguez will be the Editor-at-Large of El Huffington Post, scheduled to be launched in June. El Huffington Post is the Spanish version of the popular U.S. news and opinion site launched in 2005, which as of January 2012 had 39 million unique users each month, per comScore. Montserrat Domínguez directs the weekend radio program A vivir que son dos días broadcast by Cadena SER.

El Huffington Post, which will be offered by PRISA News, publisher of El Pais, and The Huffington Post, will have an editorial team that will combine the experience of PRISA media, the leading communication and information group, with The Huffington Post’s signature approach to original news, opinion, aggregation and community. Huffington Post will cover a wide spectrum of news, from politics and technology to culture, entertainment and living.

 "Launching El Huffington Post in Spain is a professional challenge that is difficult to resist. Only such an ambitious project – and one that is so necessary in these times of uncertainty -- could lead me to start this new phase after the great experience I have had these last years at the microphones of Cadena SER”, says Montserrat Domínguez. With degrees in Information Science and a Masters in Journalism from Columbia University (New York), Dominguez, who joined SER in 2007, has extensive professional experience, including RadioEspaña, the agency Efe and television stations Canal +, Telecinco and Antena 3 Television. She is also a columnist for La Vanguardia.

Arianna Huffington, president and Editor-in-Chief of The Huffington Post Media Group, and Juan Luis Cebrián, president of EL PAÍS and PRISA CEO, announced last December the joint partnership behind El Huffington Post, the first Spanish-language version of The Huffington Post. In the process of global expansion, the U.S. site has launched editions in the UK, Canada and France, in partnership with Le Monde. The Huffington Post has also announced an agreement with the group L'Espresso to create an Italian edition.
