Yahoo betting on content biz revival

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--Drive about 350 miles down U.S. 101 from Yahoo's Silicon Valley campus and you'll find what CEO Carol Bartz appears to believe is the future of her pioneering Internet company.

Yes, we're talking about Yahoo's often-ridiculed Media Group headquartered about two miles from the famous Santa Monica pier and a world away from the technology-oriented plans of Bartz's predecessor, company founder Jerry Yang.

Just a few years ago, amid the ruins of the disastrous reign of former Yahoo media boss Lloyd Braun, that notion would have been laughable. Sure, lots of … Read more
