Given Kara Swisher’s direct connect to Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO), if she’s reporting a major reorg is on the way, it’s worth watching. Then again, given the frequency of reorganizations for the company, you could open a calendar, throw a dart and odds are you’d pick one, too. Maybe the more traditional approach Kara says is on the way from new CEO Carol Bartz, perhaps as soon as this Wednesday, is the one that will stick.

Details are scant but most of her sources are expecting a roll back of the previous reorganizations from former CEO Jerry Yang and former President Sue Decker and a structure more like the one she had at Autodesk: “Thus, most expect Bartz to do a C-level style set-up, with execs like a COO, CTO and also a new, more powerful CMO (who will also head PR), all reporting to her. In addition, several suggested she might also junk a recent reorg that split the world into four regions. Instead, one exec could head the U.S., where most of Yahoo’s current business is, and one head international efforts.”

The long-expected reorg of the media group is on the way, too. Looks like product and programming will be split, with Ash Patel, EVP of the company’s Audience Product Division, gaining product development. Jeff Dossett, the still-new head of U.S. Audience, is said to support the move. [Some more: vertical programming probably rolls under Jimmy Pitaro, network programming under Neeraj Khemlani, and Tim Mayer would keep search monetization and distribution.)

Kara also has a couple of memos from Bartz, including one from Feb. 13 with a comment that should thrill Rafat, who is a longtime proponent of Yahoo trimming its product list: “we are assembling a list of products that we are embarrassed about for various reasons so we can make the important decision as to whether we fix them or discontinue them.”

—Advertising changes: Bartz has put the reigns on a larger rollout of APT, the advertising platform aimed at simplifying the ad-buying process: “We have also decided to “perfect” APT in the US and only one international market before we roll it out globally.” And the company is pulling back mail ads in emerging countries with slower bandwidth. Bartz: “This will mean a drop in revenue for us but it’s the right thing to do strategically.”

Update: AllThingsD sibling WSJ chimes in with its version, offering a few variations of what might be coming, including the possibility that CTO Aristotle Balogh will also become head of product and Hilary Schneider, who runs advertising, publishing and audience, would become head of North America. Searches are underway for a CMO, among other senior jobs. Not yet known: how many more senior people will decide to leave after this reorg is implemented.
