CNN Supports PowerBooks

From CVGS Editor Chris Adamson, a former associate producer at CNN Headline News: "In the CNN reorganization that's made headlines for its deep job cuts, one proposed change is that some correspondents will be shooting and editing their own video, apparently on Apple PowerBooks. The reorganization memo reposted here includes the following: "Look for the quick introduction of small, high-quality DV cameras and laptop editing equipment (a Mac laptop), enabling us to deploy smaller reporting teams one or two people at times when it makes sense... As we introduce this new gear, correspondents would do well to learn how to shoot and edit (even if called upon only occasionally to utilize those skills)...."

Hopefully Apple will be sure to make the sale before someone tries to convince them that Wintel laptops are 'just as good' (if you don't count their instability and limited battery life)."
