Fairfax execs go on Indian pilgrimage
Dr Mumbo hears that Fairfax’s director of news Darren Goodsir and national presentation editor Matt Martel are currently on a sojourn to India.
Could Fairfax be looking to the Indian subcontinent, a place known for its outsourcing expertise, as a replacement for Australian subbing hub Pagemasters?
Remember, it was only last year that there were reports the company wanted to send a message to Pagemasters that it had other options.
Fairfax has reassured Dr Mumbo that this isn’t the case.
Surely they’ll be looking into subs while they’re over there. Some large publishing houses have already made the switch
They sure need help. Saturday before last, the Age Crosswords were a repeat of a few weeks earlier. They acknowledged the error last Saturday and published solutions for two sets of puzzles – but none were for the puzzles from the previous week. They must have published solutions for puzzles that never ran. It justified my decision to cancel my subscription.
