Yahoo Taps McClatchy for Foreign News

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Yahoo News said Wednesday it reached an agreement with McClatchy Co. under which the newspaper operator's foreign correspondents will provide international coverage for the Yahoo website.

The project is named "Trusted Voices" and will include McClatchy reporters in select regions, such as Iraq, the Middle East, China and Latin America. Reporters will file traditional news stories as well as personal blog reports only available through Yahoo.

"The daily blog contributions from the international correspondents, combined with their traditional news reports, will offer our readers an on-the-ground perspective unavailable from traditional news outlets," said Scott Moore, head of Yahoo News.

Shares of McClatchy Co. fell 21 cents to $31.39 Wednesday while Yahoo Inc. fell 24 cents to $31.31, both on the New York Stock Exchange.
