Under the direction of 26-year-old Andrew Golis, Yahoo! News is gaining traction, having bolstered its staff with six full-time beat reporters.

After breaking into the original content arena through Yahoo! Sports, Yahoo! News, the one-time news aggregator, has begun breaking stories, such as a piece on the late news anchor icon Walter Cronkite's active involvement in anti-war protests during the Vietnam era.  Yahoo! News already is the nation's largest news Website.  According to Golis, April saw 57 million total page views for The Newsroom, Yahoo!'s news blog.
