Yahoo hires writers
p2p news / p2pnet:- Yahoo is going from indexer to content provider.
Starting today, it’ll publish nine columnists on its Yahoo Finance site and plans to hire as many as 30, says the Wall Street Journal, going on:
“Yahoo’s move is part of a larger effort to add original news and entertainment programming to a Web portal that has long relied on media content provided by partners. The company hopes the original content will make its site more compelling to visitors and help it bolster advertising revenue, though it says it has no plans to become a traditional news organization.”
Columnists will write one or two articles a month, a Yahoo spokesman said, and will be considered freelance employees.
“Yahoo declined to discuss details about the authors’ compensation,” adds the WSJ.

i doubt they’ll “report” on real news concerning p2p. if microsoft doesn’t buy aol, they’ll probably try to buy yahoo. or perhaps cnn will buy it. either way, they’ll still be cartel-controlled, so nothing but lamescream spin will be “reported”.
*(a lot of people might think i should apply for a job with yahoo. hmm…i wonder what they’d pay. — JUST KIDDING! :OP )*
