Washington
– Looking to make a push into original news reporting, Internet giant Yahoo (NASD: YHOO) has
launched a news bureau in D.C., staffing it with several journalists from
prominent media outlets, The New York Times reported.
Among those hired are
Politico media writer Michael Calderone; Jane Sasseen, the former Washington
bureau chief of BusinessWeek; and Anna Robertson, an Emmy-winning news producer
from ABC’s "Good Morning America," in addition to journalists from
Washingtonpost.com and other publications.
The Times said that the original
articles and videos will complement other content that Yahoo News licenses for
the site.
