YAHOO NEWS VIDEO SERIES ‘CITIES RISING: REBUILDING AMERICA’
RETURNS SUMMER 2017
_By Tony Maciulis, Head of News, Yahoo Studios_
We’re excited to announce that Cities Rising: Rebuilding America
,
a Yahoo News docuseries, is returning this summer with all new
episodes. Join Yahoo for an up-close and personal look at three iconic
U.S. cities, as told over two episodes each.
In the first episode, launching today, Katie Couric visits Cleveland,
a city residents like to call “the best location in the nation.”
During her tour she visits the Cleveland Clinic, where she checks out
a new breakthrough technology, the HoloLens, that is transforming the
study of the human anatomy. Couric also visits the Cleveland Browns
stadium with WKYC’s sports director, Jim Donovan, who discusses the
Cavaliers’ historic 2016 NBA championship. She samples local treats
at West Side Market, the oldest operating indoor-outdoor market space
in the city, and catches up with Matthew McConaughey, who filmed his
new movie in Cleveland and has plans to launch his Just Keep Livin
Foundation curriculum there at John Adams High School.
New episodes of Cities Rising: Rebuilding America will publish twice a
month on Yahoo. The visit to Cleveland is followed by stops in New
York City’s largest and most diverse area, the borough of Queens,
and finally the “Valley of the Sun,” Phoenix. The first episode of
each installment explores how the city is making pivotal changes to
reinvent itself, while taking a look at issues that are core to
rebuilding: education, the economy and infrastructure. The second
episode will focus on fun — the arts and culture, sports, food and
nightlife scenes that make life exciting in the city.
Full episodes and additional clips are available at

FULL OF PRIDE
_By Chris Kolk, Chair of Yahoo Pride_
June is recognized globally as a time of reflection and celebration
for the LGBTQ community. Every year, Pride celebrations are held
around the world to commemorate the Stonewall Riots in New York, the
anniversary of the Supreme Court case of Obergefell v. Hodges, and
individuals such as Harvey Milk and Audrey Lorde who helped pave the
way for LGBTQ rights. This month, we encourage you to take a moment to
remember those who took a stand for equality and join those who are
still fighting for LGBTQ rights. The fight for equality is not
something of the past, but the responsibility of those living in the
present.
Here at Yahoo, we’re recognizing these individuals and milestones by
celebrating all month long with our Yahoo Pride Employee Resource
Group (ERG) and by leveraging the power of our products and network to
drive inclusivity. Here’s just some what we have planned:
* YAHOO MAIL: Share your Pride with family and friends all month long
by using our Pride-themed stationery
* YAHOO HOMEPAGE: During Pride weekend, June 23 – 25, our Yahoo
Homepage will commemorate this important time, highlighting our
continued commitment to diversity
* YAHOO BILLBOARD: If you’re driving north into San Francisco, CA
on Interstate 80, take a look at our iconic billboard, which will be
painted rainbow in celebration with messages of encouragement
Yahoo is committed to making our company a best place to work for the
LGBTQ community and has been recognized for the past 10 years by the
Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, scoring a perfect
100 each time. With the help of our ERG, we strive to maintain a
strong culture of diversity and equality by building a safe workplace.
We continually educate our employees on LGBTQ rights to ensure our
employees can always feel proud of who they are. Happy Pride Month to
all of our users and our employees!

INTRODUCING YAHOO’S NEURODIVERSITY EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUP
_By Margenett Moore-Roberts, Global Head of Inclusive Diversity_
I am excited to announce the creation of Yahoo’s newest Employee
Resource Group (ERG) focused on Neurodiversity, spearheaded by Margaux
Joffe, Yahoo’s Head of Production, Global Marketing Department. The
ERG’s mission is to champion neurodiversity at Yahoo in order to
create an inclusive workplace for minds of all kinds.
If you’re unfamiliar, neurodiversity refers to differences in
learning and attention as normal variations of the human brain. At
Yahoo, we recognize minds of all kinds and respect all forms of human
variations – from dyslexia, to ADHD, to the autistic spectrum and
more. In partnership with Yahoo’s Office of Inclusive Diversity
(OID), the new Neurodiversity ERG will help encourage that anyone with
these differences can utilize their strengths at work and thrive
through one another’s support, as well as supports OID’s mission
of advancing diversity and inclusion in Yahoo’s workforce, workplace
and marketplace.
Margaux is the chair of the program and her passion stems from her
personal experience in being diagnosed with ADHD three years ago, when
she was well into adulthood. She felt compelled to found the
Kaleidoscope Society
,
an empowerment project for women with ADHD which shines a light on
inspiring stories of trailblazing women with ADHD for its more than
700 members. After joining Yahoo and talking to the OID about their
commitment to creating an inclusive working environment, she proposed
the idea of creating a Neurodiversity ERG in order to extend the
OID’s efforts to colleagues (like herself) with neurological
differences.
The ERG is hitting the ground running, and the first internal campaign
is introducing poster series and screens in all offices globally to
highlight the strengths associated with a few neurological differences
such as Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and OCD. The ERG will also meet
regularly to provide support to relevant members of the Yahoo
community and collaborate on how to grow and bring awareness to their
mission. Four initial focuses of the program include: learning the
needs of employees, creating a community of support, providing
resources at Yahoo and increasing the cultural competency of managers
so they can effectively manage their diverse teams.
In the coming months, the ERG will work with the OID and Human
Resources to ensure Neurodiversity is incorporated into our Inclusion
strategy and our manager competencies.

RESEARCHING THE DEFINITION OF GOOD ONLINE CONVERSATIONS AND HOW THEY
SHOULD RANK WITH THE YAHOO NEWS ANNOTATED COMMENTS CORPUS
yahooresearch
:
> By Courtney Napoles, Aasish Pappu
> ,
> Joel Tetreault
>
> Comment threads following online news articles often range from
> vacuous to hateful. That said, good conversations _do_ occur online,
> with people expressing different viewpoints and attempting to
> inform, convince, or better understand the other side, even if they
> can get lost among the multitude of unconstructive comments. At
> Yahoo Research, we show in recent statistical experiments that
> automatically identifying and _ranking good_ conversations on top
> will cultivate a more civil and constructive atmosphere in online
> communities and potentially encourage participation from more users
> .
>
> In an effort to foster more respectful online discussions and
> encourage more research among academics surrounding comments, we
> present the Yahoo News Annotated Comments Corpus
>
> (YNACC) via our data sharing program, Webscope
> .
> The corpus contains 522K comments from 140K comment threads posted
> in response to online news articles, and contains manual annotations
> for a subset of 2.4K comment threads and 9.2K comments. The
> annotations include 6 attributes of individual comments: sentiment,
> tone, agreement with other commenters, topic of the comment,
> intended audience, and persuasiveness. The annotations also include
> 3 attributes of threads: constructiveness, agreeability within the
> conversation, and type of conversation, i.e., flamewars
>
> vs positive/respectful .
>
> Annotated conversations in the YNACC corpus were used to create a
> predictive algorithm and train statistical models to automatically
> detect “good” conversations. We call these good conversations
> ERICs: Engaging, Respectful, and/or Informative Conversations, and
> they are characterized by:
>
> * A respectful exchange of ideas, opinions, and/or information in
> response to a given topic or topics.
>
> * Opinions expressed as an attempt to elicit a dialogue or
> persuade.
>
> * Comments that seek to contribute some new information or
> perspective on the relevant topic.
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
> ERICs have no single identifying attribute. A good conversation is
> determined by how many respectful, engaging, and persuading comments
> are present. For instance, an exchange where communicants are in
> total agreement throughout can be an ERIC, as can an exchange with a
> heated disagreement. Our algorithm ranks either of these types of
> exchanges higher than those that lack ERICs. Many of the labels for
> the ERICs in our dataset are the result of a new coding scheme
> (annotation taxonomy) we developed and are for characteristics of
> online conversations not captured by traditional argumentation or
> dialogue features. Some of the labels we collected have been
> annotated in previous work , and this is the first time they
> are aggregated in a single corpus at the dialogue level.
>
> Additionally, we collected annotations on 1K threads from the
> Internet Argument Corpus
> ,
> representing another domain of online debates. Our corpus and
> annotation scheme is the first exploration of how characteristics of
> individual comments contribute to the dialogue-level classification
> of an exchange. We hope YNACC will facilitate research to understand
> ERICs and other aspects of dialogue in general.

YAHOO NEWS INVESTIGATION | WEED & THE AMERICAN FAMILY
_By Martha Nelson, Global Editor in Chief_
The topic of marijuana is at a tipping point. While some aspects of
this tectonic shift in American society have been well covered –
legalization, the business boom, the political divides – its impact
on our most important relationships, those inside our homes, has been
curiously underexamined.
Leveraging the power of the Yahoo network, Weed & the American Family
is an in-depth and thoughtful examination of the way cannabis is
affecting our families – from the generational split over usage, to
shifting attitudes, to its impact on parenting and relationships.
At the center of our project is an exclusive Yahoo News/Marist Poll
which offers the most comprehensive examination of this hot topic –
Weed & the American Family.
This survey of 1,122 adults in America found that marijuana use has
become surprisingly acceptable, particularly in families where parents
are users. Having used – or merely tried – marijuana makes you
much less concerned about its effect on your family, suggesting that
as weed becomes more widespread in the age of legalization, more
Americans will begin to feel the same way.
See the full poll results here:
http://maristpoll.marist.edu/yahoo-newsmarist-poll/
Our examination includes an interview with former U.S. Rep. Patrick
Kennedy
,
who co-founded an anti-legalization group called Smart Approaches to
Marijuana (SAM); a discussion with Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper
about the lessons he’s learned as a reluctant leader on the front
lines of the marijuana revolution; and an intimate conversation with
musician, mother and weed advocate Melissa Etheridge
.
We also produced video diaries of families who share how marijuana has
affected their lives, both negatively and positively, including a
compelling account of a mother using marijuana to treat postpartum
depression and anxiety
.
We hope that as you read through our fascinating poll data, reporting
and first-person accounts on marijuana use, you’ll be able to
develop a better sense of the complex and evolving attitudes about
this deeply controversial issue in American life and that it
generates discussion where it matters most – within your own
family.
