The McClatchy Co. is moving more newspaper jobs to Asia with a decision to outsource some work from The Miami Herald to a company in India, the Associated Press reported Friday.

It's the second such move this month for the Sacramento-based newspaper publisher (NYSE: MNI); The Sacramento Bee also is moving some advertising production work to India.

The Herald, McClatchy's second-largest newspaper by average weekday circulation and largest by Sunday circulation, will begin sending copy-editing and design work in a weekly section of community news and of some special advertising sections to Mindworks Global Media, based in New Delhi, the AP story reported. Executive Editor Anders Gyllenhaal told the news organization that Mindworks also would monitor reader comments on online stories, and that the program was being tested so no decision has been made on whether Florida jobs would be affected.
