They may hire Indians to come here and do the job but it still takes someone to be at the meetings, walk the streets, and talk to people on the beat. Still if I worked at Mc Donalds I'd get a free meal each shift. That almost used to be true of reporters but the times are changing.

The rapid spread of IP networking, wireless and the internet has made the location of the workplace irrelevant. We need to work on education in this country so our workers have something more to bring to the mix.

Review after review of restaurants I'll likely never visit? Snoozers. And the fact the NYT is a sewer of back-stabbers comes as no surprise. I tried her spaghetti carbonara recipe, though, and it was worth the time. I liked it, but, of all three volumes of her memoirs, this one was my least favorite.

Not sure how long this has been going on, but I believe it's a well developed industry. See http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1636603,00020021.htm Scroll down for the reference to the US.
