The Huffington Post has defended its growing use of advertorial content.
Greg Coleman (shown), the company’s president and chief revenue officer, appearing at AdweekMedia’s Social Media Strategies conference in New York yesterday, said this sponsor-created content — by companies like IBM, GE and Starwood — was clearly distinguishable from HuffoPo’s own editorial.
