Larry Roberts, former Avon bureau chief and projects editor, has moved from the Washington Post to the Huffington Post. Check out this report.  Larry will be helping put investigative boots on the ground in what might be a ground-breaking way.

Here’s an excerpt:

Stories will be free for any media outlet to publish simultaneously. In addition to a full-time editorial staff of 10, the fund plans to spend a substantial part of its resources on freelance investigative journalists, many of whom have been laid off due to the current downturn.

Larry was the Courant editor who helped Bob Capers and Eric Lipton win a Pulitzer — The paper’s first ever — for their coverage of the problems besetting the construction of the Hubble Space Telescope.
