Journalists would begin each round with a PDA program/cart that allows them to scan a sheet of paper. The scanned text would then be displayed on the PDA along with a button that submits the story for approval. A Head or the Captain may approve the story and "send it to the press".
The end-of-round pop-up would be similar to Security tickets, but with newspaper flavor.
Another fun use for the scanner would be to scan photos to be displayed alongside published stories.
Alternative story creation methods would be using a special typewriter that transmits stories to be published, or by requiring the Journalist to successfully bring a written story on a shuttle that makes it back to CentCom.
Options for abuse prevention include a minimum word count and/or limiting stories to one per round.
