Blogger who beat the NYT sues Huffington over the ‘Wal-Martization’ of journalism

Former Huff blogger: Arianna is creating 'a Third World class of creative people'

Arianna Huffington has long been criticized for the unpaid work of the thousands of bloggers whose content made her site a must-click, and valuable enough to be acquired by AOL for $315 million in February. Now, the complaints are being taken from the blogosphere to the courtroom.

Jonathan Tasini is the lead plaintiff in the case against Huffington and AOL. Tasini is a journalist who contributed blog entries to Huffington Post from December 2005 until February 10, 2011, just three days before the site's sale.
