San Jose Mercury News: After years of being asked if Yahoo is primarily a tech company or a media company, CEO Marissa Mayer says she has figured out how the question that was the company’s Achilles heel is actually a strength. “We may not be the biggest technology company, but we’re the biggest technology company that gets media,” Mayer said. Among the accomplishments she cited was Yahoo’s recent deal to show an NFL game in the fall. She also talked about Ultimate DJ, Yahoo’s upcoming American Idol-like techno DJ competition. Not mentioned was Yahoo’s star news anchor Katie Couric, who is reportedly working out a $10 million new contract to stay on.
