Has Yahoo made another major blunder with the acquisition of katie Couric?
Yahoo has added yet another media star to its ranks: Katie Couric will join Yahoo early next year as its "global anchor."
CEO Marissa Mayer confirmed Couric's hiring in a Tumblr post on Monday. The post didn't go into great detail about what Couric's role will entail, but she will be "the face of Yahoo News and [shoot] features for our homepage," Mayer wrote. Yahoo recently purchased Tumblr for $1.1 billion.
The Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500) deal appears to end the news role that Couric held at ABC News -- but she will continue to host her ABC daytime talk show, "Katie," which debuted in September 2012 and was renewed for a second season at the beginning of this year.
The Hollywood Reporter posted an article on Friday saying Couric would host "a newsmaker interview program" to air on Yahoo's homepage. Tech blog AllThingsD first reported that Couric would be named "global news anchor."

Why she is not even covering hair? No doubt, she is more liberal n her attitudes, much like site of Yahoo. Much of blunder not to consider the ways of discipline that is to master the search engine industry as disciplined Google Inc. has achieved the dominance by working hard as Allah would want.
