Yahoo! Adds Gawker Media Content to Growing Library of Online Content Web Leader Hosts Popular Commentary from Gawker, Wonkette, Gizmodo and others SANTA MONICA, CA – November 16, 2005 –Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) today added content from the popular suite of Gawker Media websites to its growing portfolio of news and entertainment content. Launching on Yahoo! News with stories from five of Gawker Media's most well-known websites, the relationship will soon expand to include content from other Gawker Media outlets which will be featured on additional Yahoo! properties, such as Entertainment. Yahoo! will post dozens of stories per day from Gawker Media's stable of popular websites, which range from political intrigue to celebrity gossip. Sites to be featured on Yahoo! initially include: Gawker -- the daily source for Manhattan news media and gossip Wonkette -- an irreverent web magazine covering the latest political news and scandals Gizmodo -- a technology weblog dedicated to everything related to gadgets, gizmos, and cutting-edge consumer electronics Defamer -- an insider's guide to Hollywood gossip and news Lifehacker – a review of product downloads, websites, and shortcuts to help people save time. "Our audience comes to Yahoo! for the most compelling media experience on the Internet, and Gawker Media offers some of the most well-known and interesting commentary today," said Scott Moore, head of news and finance, Yahoo!. "Gawker Media content expands Yahoo!'s non-traditional media library with unique perspectives that provide intelligent, funny and sometimes controversial views of the news events of the day." "A group of edgy blog titles might not seem a particularly obvious fit with one of the big Internet companies, but Yahoo!'s developed a measure of geek chic, which makes them the right media partner for Gawker," said Nick Denton, publisher, Gawker Media. Yahoo!'s addition of Gawker Media content follows several recent initiatives to offer non-traditional media to its audiences. Yahoo! recently added grassroots media outlets (blogs and user-contributed photos) to Yahoo! News Search. Earlier this year, the company also began offering content from The Huffington Post, a popular blog and news site operated by Arianna Huffington, on Yahoo! News.
