Making the News

"With the Dell Precision mobile workstations in the hands of our news staff, we can have a breaking story on TV or online practically in real time."

— Mark Holt, IT services manager, Media General.

Media General’s reporters and photographers needed a way to send stories immediately to the newsroom. The company wanted to improve its ability to compete with cable TV and Internet-only news sources.

Dell^TM  Precision mobile workstations with built-in mobile broadband enable the field news staff to quickly post news stories, including photography and video—all without having to take the time to go into the office.

Dell Precision mobile workstations can eliminate the need to travel to the office to file stories, so field reporters and photographers can now deliver news content in half the time previously required; Dell Precision mobile workstations help reduce travel costs for the news staff by 10 percent; Consolidating news applications onto Dell PowerEdge^TM  servers helps cut IT support costs by 25 percent.
