Yahoo partners with newspapers for search, local news

Posted by David Johnson on April 16, 2007

We picked up the story last week but the official announcement of Yahoo’s partnership with a consortium of newspaper publishers came today. The original partnership formed last November focused only on job ads, but the news today is that more than 264 newspapers in 44 states are now wedded to Yahoo for search, news and advertising in a sprawling agreement that will surely have huge impact. (Disclaimer: E.W. Scripps, my employer, is a partnering company)
