Mutual Funds and dividend yield?

When reading ratings of stock mutual funds in Forbes or Kiplinger's magazine, why is it a colum is never entered for certain funds for dividend yield?
The mutual fund types in particular I'm asking about are say equity income, balanced funds where a good portion is put into bonds and say a sector fund of large bank stocks. Especially now in the bank area where they have tumbled. If a bank still pays same dividend and the price has gone south a lot, the dividend yield would rise a great deal. So , why do these magazines not have a of dividend yield for Certain funds?

For mutual funds, the thing you need to look at is Total Return, not "dividend yield." Mutual funds make periodic dividend/capital gains distributions, but it does not work like individual stocks or bonds.

That's a good question. Maybe the sites you are using do not calculate the div. yield every day like it's calculated on a stock? Have you checked morningstar yet? They're usually on top of stuff like that.
