Yesterday, we reported Google signing an agreement with Clear Channel which enables Google to air audio ads on 675 stations. Today, Yahoo! has struck a deal with 12 U.S. newspaper companies which make it their exclusive paid search partner.
According to Search Engine Watch, consortium members as announced last November are Belo Corp.; Cox Newspapers; The E.W. Scripps Company; Hearst Newspapers; Journal Register Company; Lee Enterprises; and MediaNews Group, Inc.
