And now your local news…brought to you from India

AMERICANS GROWING WEARY of seeing their jobs off-shored now have another indignity to endure — reading “local” newspapers that are written in India. The Labor Letter reports that a small California community newspaper, Pasadena Now, dumped seven local reporters and hired six replacements in India. The foreign reporters cover city hall meetings via live video streaming and make extensive use of press releases and the Internet. And it’s not just small newspapers going this route. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch moved its ad preparation work to India, eliminating 11 American workers — most of them over the age of 50.
