Associated Press Aims to Expand Its Horizons





This can only be positive change for the company. If you cannot tie each individual employee's output to company results, how can you run a business?

From New York Times:

Later this year, The A.P. plans to introduce an Internet database system, called eAP, that will deliver news, photographs, video and sound clips with identifying codes that enable The A.P. to track how many times articles are used by a client.

But that system is causing anxiety in The A.P. employees' union, which worries that it may be used to determine staffing levels and which news bureaus survive or close.

"How are people going to be evaluated if we're changing the model?" asked Tony Winton, president of the New Media Guild, which represents The A.P.'s United States employees. Veteran A.P. workers remember the news service under the old management as being like a family store; layoffs were rare, and employees stayed for their entire careers.
