I am web content editor and I only recently got a computer upgrade but only after the 10year-old computer I was previously using (without a graphics or sound card, might I add) died. It took 2 weeks and I got a "new" computer with a soundcard and a LCD screen! I have been doing multimedia work: audio editing, Flash, etc. on my own trusy 12" Powerbook and using my own consumer-grade MiniDV camera. It has been very, very frustrating. Not to mention our web host that greatly limits what we are able to do. In general our CMS is outdated and on the verge of collapse. I am new to the newspaper industry so this has really blown me away. Where have all the forward-thinking people gone. As an information industry it is absolutely ridiculous that newspapers are only now realizing the potential of new media.
