Yahoo still commands a huge audience. Nearly 1 billion people visit a Yahoo website every month.
While content is a risky business, analysts believe it's a way to keep customers engaged.
"Verizon is looking to the future," said Brett Sappington, director of research of consulting firm Parks Associates. "It's about being able to create an audience, and increasingly that audience is going to mobile and moving away from traditional forms of media."
