Yahoo hires newspaper veteran
Yahoo has confirmed that it has hired newspaper veteran Neil Budde to run its news operations.
Budde, who will begin his position at Yahoo on Nov. 15, was the founding editor and publisher of The Wall Street Journal Online edition.
The hiring of Budde underscores Yahoo’s heightened interest in original content. The company recently hired TV veteran Lloyd Braun, who developed shows such as “The Sopranos,” “Lost” and “Desperate Housewives,” to run its media and entertainment operations. Braun will focus on courting Hollywood producers to develop online programming exclusively for Yahoo.
