Yahoo News, WaPo team up to for political daily video feature

The Washington Post and Yahoo News have collaborated to launch "The Fast Fix," a daily video feature starring Chris Cillizza, managing editor of PostPolitics.com and author of the Post's blog The Fix, according to the UpshotBlog on Yahoo News. The video feature will offer analysis on the day's political news in 60 seconds.

While bringing together reader submissions, social media, and Cillizza's own intellectual curiosity to provide better analysis and insights on politics, the co-produced and co-branded video feature will offer nonpartisan political commentary covering the "so what?" and the "now what?" through fast, visually active analysis of both over-reported issues and important but under-reported political topics, according to the press release posted on MarketWatch.com.

"Since Chris Cillizza joined The Washington Post, his unique way of offering news and analysis has captured political aficionados and novices alike. We're always looking for smart, new ways to engage our readers, and we're excited to work with Yahoo! to offer a series of original, compelling videos," Raju Narisetti, managing editor at The Post, was quoted on MediaBistro.com. "The Fast Fix is a vibrant extension of Cillizza's reporting that provides the most critical political news of the day for our online readers who might want more of The Fix or are crunched for time."

Users can get their daily dose of insightful and entertaining political analysis on The Post's homepage for politics, on news.yahoo.com and PostPolitics.com, the press release stated. 'The Fast Fix' videos are also available on the Washington Post's mobile site.
