Yahoo hires reporter to cover wars

Yahoo has hired veteran TV war correspondent Kevin Sites to report on wars for the site. He'll produce a new multimedia site called "Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone" at hotzone.yahoo.com.

"Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone is news reporting for the new millennium -- a nexus of backpack journalism, narrative story-telling techniques, and the Internet, designed to reach a global audience hungry for information," the site says.

"Veteran war correspondent Kevin Sites will travel solo to these conflict zones, aided by a U.S.-based 'mission control' team: Producer Robert Padavick (NBC News, CNN) and Researcher Lisa Liu (Radio Free Asia, International Medical Corps).

"Using the latest technology, including high-definition digital cameras and satellite modems, Kevin will deliver stories via a five-fingered multimedia platform of text, photography, video, audio, and interactive chat - all available on one website."
