HuffPost has hired Rajul Punjabi as the director of HuffPost Voices, a relaunched section that will promote young Black, Asian, women, queer and Latino writers and other communities, Axios reports.
Why it matters: The HuffPost Voices relaunch is a strategic move by the BuzzFeed-owned media company to grow its revenue by inking sponsorship deals with brands aiming to appeal to diverse communities.
After shedding millions under Verizon, HuffPost is now profitable.
