Overseas outsourcing is not just something that journalists write about. It's something that some writers are beginning to experience. As
NewsForge reports, CNET's Builder.com is -- on an experimental basis -- cutting 40 percent of its freelance budget and using the money to offshore authoring of many of its articles to an editorial firm in India. While most of the freelance writers for the site are Americans, some live elsewhere. Among the freelancers losing work because of the outsourcing deal is one writer who lives, ironically enough, in India. Builder.com is a news and information site aimed at software application developers. (Thanks to
Josh Fruhlinger for the pointer.)
