WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - Newspaper publisher APN News & Media began outsourcing editorial production work Sunday, a strategy being watched by media outlets in other countries, a senior executive said.
An outside contractor now will do the editing and layout work for The New Zealand Herald — the nation's biggest daily — along with several regional papers and weeklies, said APN deputy chief executive Rick Neville.
Starting Sunday, 20 full-time sub-editors at contractor Pagemasters New Zealand will be "operating on an extension of APN's 'Cyber' computer editorial production system" at a site 20 minutes from the paper's editorial offices, Neville said.
