A local news website's editor who hired two reporters in India to cover suburban Pasadena, Calif., said he's been so overwhelmed by handling reaction to his plan that he had to postpone publication of their first stories.
James Macpherson said he hasn't found the time he hoped to have to train one of his new staffers to cover Monday night's City Council meeting, which is shown live on the Web.
Last week he hired the reporters and planned to start posting their stories on pasadenanow.com by now. One based in the Indian financial center of Mumbai will watch the meetings, which often go past midnight, and use the time difference (early morning in California is early afternoon in India) to write summaries so readers in the city near Los Angeles can log on Tuesday mornings and find out what happened.
