I agree that it's a reasonable list for U.S. news. Yahoo is a weird one to have on the list, do they do any original reporting (of real news, not entertainment)? Maybe they're a reliable source of AP or other newswire services.
- eropple 10y agoYahoo has a pretty strong sports reporting group. They have many of the heavy hitters in basketball media, for example. It makes sense to me that they'd be a common source. (If you're gonna be That Guy and hurr about sports being entertainment, you can pass.)
- scholia 10y agoYou're right, it's a reliable source of newswires. I don't think it does any original news reporting.
- nommm-nommm 10y agoAlexa ranks Yahoo News the 8th most popular news source on the Internet. More popular than Fox News, BBC, and WSJ. As previously mentioned their sports coverage is superb. Yahoo has at least experimented with original content but I am not sure if they still have it. http://www.alexa.com/topsites/category/Top/News http://www.alexa.com/topsites/category/Top/News
