“Michael Hogan is one of the brightest talents in online media, and we’re thrilled he’s joining us,” said Arianna Huffington. “Mike’s sharp voice and cultural savvy are a perfect fit to make Moviefone and AOL TV top destinations for vibrant and thought-provoking coverage — and he’ll take them to the next level of engagement and community.”
