Editorial jobs shift to India

I don't consider myself xenophobic, but this just takes the cake. Hey! Let's double our staff of editors writing about American business by shifting all the jobs to India!

Financial news and information provider Reuters Group PLC plans to outsource as many as 20 editorial jobs to India from more expensive newsgathering locations around the world, a company spokeswoman said Monday.

Reuters will hire up to 40 trained journalists to staff a new newsroom in the Indian city of Bangalore to take over these editorial duties and to expand output for the company's news service. They will focus primarily on providing greater information about small and medium-sized firms that are publicly traded in the United States
