HuffPost editor-in-chief Danielle Belton resigned Thursday as part of the news site’s ongoing editorial layoffs, TheWrap has learned.
She announced her decision via staff memo, writing, “I could not, in good faith, ask others to make this difficult decision without doing the same.”
“At my core, I am a very sensitive and emotional person, which is why I haven’t been as communicative in the last few days,” she wrote. “I’ve been a part of the HuffPost for almost four years and wanted to see us through our 20th anniversary, something I was looking forward to. I am also very passionate about you all and the work that we do.”
