A Dedicated Politics Magazine Offering Insight and Perspective as the
2016 Election Cycle Kicks Off
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) today announced the launch of Yahoo
Politics, the 12th category-specific digital magazine from the
company. Yahoo
Politics, a visually immersive digital magazine conceived to make
news, break news and drive the political conversation, is the latest
addition to Yahoo's suite of magazines, which also include number one
ranked titles for Beauty Movies, Parenting, Style and Travel1.
Under the editorial leadership of Yahoo News Group Editor-in-Chief Megan
Liberman, the magazine's Editor-in-Chief Garance Franke-Ruta and Yahoo
News Deputy Editor Dan Klaidman, Yahoo
Politics will feature regular bylines from Yahoo's world-class
editorial team including National Political Columnist Matt Bai, Chief
Investigative Correspondent Michael Isikoff, Chief Washington
Correspondent Olivier Knox, Senior Political Reporter Jon Ward and
Congressional Correspondent Meredith Shiner. Senior National
Correspondent Lisa Belkin, West Coast Correspondent Andrew Romano,
national correspondents Holly Bailey and Alyssa Bereznak, and Senior
National Affairs Writer Liz Goodwin will also be regular contributors.
Yahoo
Politics will also feature regular video franchises and newsmaking
interviews from Global News Anchor Katie Couric, produced by the Yahoo
Studios team under the leadership of Vice President and Head of Yahoo
Video, Anna Robertson, and Head of News for Yahoo Studios Tony Maciulis.
"We have an incredible political team at Yahoo News, and I'm thrilled
that we now have a dedicated platform for their work," Yahoo News Group
Editor-in-Chief Megan Liberman says. "In an era when so many people feel
disconnected from the political process, we're offering context and
perspective on the political world and what it means to our readers and
viewers."
Since Liberman arrived at Yahoo in September 2013, Yahoo News has become
a destination known for landing conversation-driving political
interviews and features. From Matt Bai's exclusive sit-down with
embattled New Jersey Governor Chris Christie during the height of the
"bridgegate" scandal in January of 2014, to investigative reporting by
Michael Isikoff on topics like the CIA's secret plan to compensate the
victims of US drone attacks, and Lisa Belkin's engaging long-form
reporting on issues like legal culpability for parents of child killers,
Yahoo takes pride in informing our audience on the political issues of
the day with world-class journalism.
