Oprah Winfrey will have a special section on the Huffingtonpost.com site beginning Aug. 22, according to an announcement from Arianna Huffington.
The site will carry content from writers and producers from OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network specifically for the site.
The material will provide information about living life to the fullest. It will cover personal growth, spirituality and pieces about physical and mental health. Huffington Post bloggers will supply comment.
Arianna Huffington said: “Oprah was about engagement and authenticity long before engagement and authenticity ruled the web.”
She is “delighted that we'll be working together to enlarge the conversation on living our best lives, as Oprah puts it, just as we launch our GPS for the Soul app.”
The HuffingtonPost attracted 36.9M unique visitors in April.
