Aussie edit outsourcer sets up shop

Pagemasters, an Australian firm that provides editorial outsourcing services to newspapers, said it teamed up with The Canadian Press to provide design, copy-editing and headline-writing services to North American newspapers.
Pagemasters already provides similar services to a number of newspapers in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, including the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Daily Telegraph.
Pagemasters, a unit of Australian Associated Press, currently produces more than 10,000 editorial pages per month in four production centers.
“We will be heavily involved with The Canadian Press in setting up editorial production centers in North America, working closely with newspaper publishers as they grapple with the radical changes sweeping the industry,” said AAP CEO Clive Marshall, in a statement.
