Reuters Digital: Chrystia Freeland

Chrystia Freeland: Chrystia Freeland was the head of Reuters Digital in New York when Thompson Reuters moved its Toronto digital newsroom to New York and shipped the bulk of its work to the Bangalore operation, according to Huffington Post. "Ever since I've been an editor at different news organizations, legacy newsrooms have been shrinking, and that was something that happened as well when I was at Reuters," Freeland said in an interview and OTTAWA - A high-profile federal Liberal candidate campaigning in Toronto on a platform of restoring the middle class oversaw the decision to move two dozen full-time media jobs from that city to India. The December 2011 move put about 25 Toronto staff under Freeland's supervision out of work, including 17 permanent and five temporary unionized employees. Thomson Reuters won't say how many employees remain only that the company has "a fully staffed and functioning newsroom in Toronto." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
