Reporting from India on Pasadena

Associated Press
Pasadenanow.com editor James Macpherson knows it sounds strange to have journalists in India cover news in Pasadena. But he says it can be done from afar now that Pasadena council meetings can be watched over the Internet. "I think it could be a significant way to increase the quality of journalism on the local level without the expense that is a major problem for local publications. Whether you're at a desk in Pasadena or a desk in Mumbai, you're still just a phone call or e-mail away from the interview."
