Well, the rounds I wrote articles in people did read them, and I'd like to think it was helpful for late joiners to get up to speed with station happenings.
I think making it radio only or emails or whatever makes the whole thing pointless, as in my mind the persistence of news articles is important as it allows it to benefit late joiners and others who are genuinely interested in what has been going on.
I didn't know there was a portable security camera viewer, I thought that was just the helmet cam/buddy viewer; but even so it wouldn't be helpful because 1. security camera viewers are very clunky, if you could switch cameras like the AI it would be much more useful, and 2. the reason why you're restricted to the office is because it's the only/best place to lay out newspaper for people to read.
I guess it's the way I approach things. I don't play it so much as a journalist doing interviews and spending lots of time on a particular event (which given the frequency of events on the station means you'll miss most of them), I usually write a few paragraphs (with added sensationalism and questionable facts) about something, give it a catchy title and lay it out on the table for passerbys to read. Hence my desire is to see journalism stuff focused within the office.
