Yahoo, Reuters Partner on Eyewitness News Photo/Video ServiceAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on December 4, 2006 - 2:44pm.
Sunnyvale, Calif. - Yahoo on Monday announced new partnerships with a number of media companies, launching an eyewitness news service project with Reuters, adding Fox Business News to its website, and syndicating Yahoo search and classifieds to Media General newspaper sites.
Reuters said the "You Witness" system will encourage the public to submit eyewitness news photos and videos, which will run on Yahoo News and receive distribution to other news outlets through Reuters. The companies are working out a plan to compensate individuals whose photos and videos are syndicated commercially. Yahoo's deal with Fox News will see several brief Fox News video market reports added to Yahoo Finance each day. Media General, which owns 25 daily and 150 weekly newspapers in the Southeastern U.S., will transition the online career sections at its sites to a Yahoo HotJobs platform, and eventually post all job listings from its papers on Yahoo HotJobs.
