Improve the quality of journalism
Yahoo really needs to improve the quality of its staff journalism, the fact that Sky News are poor isn't an excuse. Yahoo should proof read all articles before publication for accuracy, correct spelling, good grammar, proper use of language and higher quality content, all of these points are especially important as younger readers see bad spelling, grammar and content as a model for their own work. In general, the quality of Internet journalism is highly questionable and leads me to suspect that many so called "internet journalists" are either untrained, unqualified or just rank amateurs who would never secure and hold a job as a journalist in the wider world.
There is no excuse for poor use of language in general, even this feedback is "spell checked" to remove typographical errors and incorrect spellings, therefore journalists, especially those paid to write, have no excuses whatsoever. As for the content, obviously content is subjective, but some of what appears is frankly inane, pointless and a waste of screen space.
Yahoo needs to lift its game as it is languishing in the gutter of the on-line world and wallowing in its own incompetence and self neglect.
