New York: Yahoo Inc will offer international news from reporters working with US newspaper publisher McClatchy Co, including a blog written by Iraqi staffers, the companies said.
The project will be called "Trusted Voices," and feature coverage from McClatchy foreign correspondents based in the Middle East, China and Latin America, among other regions.
Yahoo plans to launch the coverage on its news site early in the second quarter of 2007. The companies did not disclose financial terms of the deal.
One of the first projects is called "Inside Iraq," a blog written by Iraqi staffers based in McClatchy's Baghdad bureau.
McClatchy journalists in Cairo, Occupied Jerusalem and other locations will contribute stories and blog posts to the project.
McClatchy, which publishes the Miami Herald, Sacramento Bee and Kansas City Star, is one of the top US newspaper publishers in terms of circulation.
