McClatchy to Feed News to Yahoo

McClatchy Co., the nation's third largest newspaper publisher, will begin providing international news coverage and commentary to Yahoo. McClatchy will provide news from four international bureaus -- Baghdad, Cairo, Jerusalem and Beijing. Many of the stories will also appear in McClatchy's newspapers as well as their Web sites. McClatchy's correspondents also will provide exclusive information and commentary to Yahoo for blogs.

Howard Weaver, Vice President, News, The McClatchy Co., says, "Called “Trusted Voices,” we’ll encourage them to color outside the lines of traditional journalism in their blogs, offering readers a boots-on-the-ground perspective from the Arab street in Egypt or the increasingly crowded slopes of Everest (to name two of their recent datelines). Maybe Hannah Allam will provide a list of the Egyptian websites or blogs she finds most useful in understanding politics there; Dion Nissenbaum might help you unravel the political connections of those Israeli newspapers you always hear quoted. Tim Johnson, who covers China and Asia from Beijing, could offer insight into obstacles facing people thinking about going for the Olympics in 2008."
