The Sacramento Bee to outsource ad work to India
(12-06) 10:09 PST SACRAMENTO, (AP) —
The Sacramento Bee is outsourcing some of its advertising production work to India.
The newspaper plans to eliminate half its artist jobs by next summer and give the business to Express KCS, a San Jose company with offices in New Delhi and nearby Gurgaon.
Ed Canale, the Bee’s vice president of business development, said the company has already done similar work for The Fresno Bee. Both papers are owned by Sacramento-based McClatchy Co., the third-largest newspaper publisher in the country by circulation.
In August, McClatchy outsourced circulation customer service to an Illinois company that also operates out of the Philippines.
