Just played a round as a Newsman detective, holy shit it was a lot more fun than I would have expected. Pissing off Sec with smear campaigns, defeating the AI in a battle of wits, and publishing the worst copy in the history of news leads to surprisingly awesome rounds. After giving it a shot, though, I'd have to reiterate my idea of some kind of PDA app for news-ing. Paper and pen just flat-out doesn't work, the computer is unwieldy as hell to use, (Plus, once you piss the AI off, he can actually fuck with the stuff you're typing, since he has access to every PC. AI!!!) and even when you get something printed off, there's nowhere to really PUT it. You can throw it on the floor in front of arrivals, but that's basically completely ignored.
That being said, I really love what's been done with it so far. The information station outside of arrivals is great, and you're great, Cogwerks.
