July 30, 2003 Retraction about Bloomberg and Outsourcing By STANDARD SCHAEFER Dear Readers, In a recent story about the growing trend in outsourcing, I drew from many sources, the first of which was one about IBM's recent exporting of jobs to India that was first published by Bloomberg news. As I double-checked the growth trend in outsourcing, I muddled my sources and took Bloomberg to task about things actually reported by several other news services, particularly one story by Andrea Ahles, a Star-Telegram Staff Writer. While the trend in outsourcing is a serious one, growing faster all the time according to Forrester Research, it appears that I must retract the story. In my zeal, I rushed the story and bungled it. I apologize for my haste and vow much more careful work in the future. Sincerely, Standard Schaefer Weekend Edition Features for July 26 / 28, 2003 Alexander Cockburn NYT's Screws Up Again; Uday and Qusay Deaths Bad for Bush; Gen.
