Report: Trib outsourcing jobs to India
June 6, 2008 at 4:24 pm by Wayne GarciaThey’re not the only Big Media company looking at this, but the Tampa Tribune is in the midst of outsourcing some advertising layout jobs to India, reports The Business Journal:
“We’re recreating jobs [in the production department], and everybody in the department already knows what’s happening,” said Denise Palmer, president and publisher of the Tribune. “This is not news for any of our employees, but we haven’t yet settled on a final number.”
Most of the cuts come as a result of the outsourcing that will take place in the Tribune’s downtown office, Palmer said, but some cuts also could take place at the paper’s Sebring office where its Highlands Today is published. The move to outsourcing should be completed by September.
