In 2006 it launched the citizen journalism site You Witness News. Yahoo produces some of its own news content.
It has also bought other news-related companies, such as the news aggregator BuzzTracker in 2007 and the online content producer Associated Content (since integrated into Yahoo Voices), social sports site Citizen Sports in 2010, and contextual mobile app Aviate in 2014. As of 2012, the videos co-produced by ABC and Yahoo reportedly accounted for nearly half of the general news videos watched online. In 2013, it added video partnerships with Conde Nast and WWE and announced it would produce several web shows. Yahoo also has made agreements with other news organizations, including an extensive content-sharing partnership with ABC News formed in 2011, along with a foreign-news partnership with the McClatchy newspaper chain and the NGO newsgatherer.
The site has longtime content-providing partnerships with the Associated Press and other news wires. Yahoo News uses a combination of computer algorithms and human editing to determine its news aggregation. As of 2012, it was the most-trafficked news site in 10 content categories, including news, finance, sports, and entertainment. Yahoo, the search engine, web portal, and parent of Yahoo News, is the fourth-most-visited site on the web overall. Yahoo News is the web’s most popular news site, with more than 88 million unique visitors in the month of April 2011. Yahoo News is an aggregator of news from major media outlets, though it produces some original content of its own.
