The Photos and Videos tabs will give you relevant images and videos culled from Yahoo! News.

While if you want more user-generated and fresher content, you can check out the Twitter tabs. There a click just below the Twitter search lists that if yo click will bring you to the Twitter page where the real-time search results for the same news search will be displayed.
