The Huffington Post has registered 26 million unique monthly visitors in the United States, a record for the site, according the comScore November data for the "Newspaper Sites." (See below.)
The comScore numbers find the Huffington Post holding in the the number two "newspaper" position, after the New York Times. It has passed the Tribune newspaper group, which is now ranked third.
Earlier this year, Beet.TV interviewed co-founder and editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington about the growth of the site, its editorial direction. We have republished that interview today.
