Outsourcing editors in San Gabe

The copy desk for the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper group in the LANG empire — that's the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, Pasadena Star-News and I think they include Whittier — is being moved to San Bernardino, according to newsroom buzz. The copy editors were told Thursday that all twelve of them (down from 17 not so long ago) are going. They will be combined with the desk that puts out the San Bernardino Sun and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin into a universal desk producing all five papers. This means, of course, that a big swath of the news in Los Angeles County will be handled by editors sitting in another county. At least it's not India.
