Yahoo’s Editorial Retreat At The Viceroy Today

It wasn’t quite the News Corp weekend retreat, but close: Yahoo held an editorial think-tank type retreat today at the Viceroy in Santa Monica, and invited a lot of outside speakers and other journalists to speak to the Yahoo News and other editorial people about the changing face of news media. People who were there thought it was really good and said they felt energized after it (something I heard about the News Corp people, too, when they did their two retreats … it’s all love flowing everywhere these days, it seems.) Some of those outside speakers (including Sree Sreenivasan of Columbia J-School, Andrew Nachison and Dale Peskin from Media Center) and Yahoo editors turned up at the Yahoo-Huffing-Gawker Party.

If nothing else, it probably shows Yahoo’s seriousness when it comes to news … a similar brainstorming session will happen in Sunnyvale next week.
