Already being used in ireland, outsourcing the editors job now hits the New Zealand Herald.
Update 14 Aug 07: Offal News picks up the story and takes it a step further with news of one California newspaper that has outsourced reporting on local news to Mumbai and Bangalore.

I've heard you can send your interviews to India for cheap, overnight transcriptions, but I suspect it may be a myth.
I would have murdered for that a couple of years ago. It's the absolute worst part of the job. I'm half convinced I switched to comms work just so I would never have to transcribe another interview again.
I guess you made a wrong choice. half your freakin life is spent either transcribing or getting transcripts of interviews.
