The left-leaning Huffington Post and Glenn Beck's recently launched news site, The Blaze, don't have a lot in common politically. But Betsy Morgan, who was previously chief executive of the Huffington Post, has been named president of the conservative TV and radio star's "four month-old information network."
Morgan's role will be to build The Blaze into the "premiere digital network curating content, community and debate and further leveraging Beck's loyal audience," according to a release.
Media watchers may be surprised by the move, but Morgan explained that its not such a great departure from her previous work.
"I am a very apolitical person," Morgan told the New York Times. "I'm a business person, who is absolutely fascinated by brands."
She added that Beck "has built for himself quite an enormous brand," and the site is designed to "leverage the huge loyalty of that audience."
