Newsrooms depend on well-informed editors and reporters who are often notoriously paper-based. I've worked in six newspaper and magazine newsrooms and it's generally a central CMS/publishing/workflow system, plus a person-by-person armory of solutions (reporter's notebooks, things like Evernote, spreadsheets, etc.) There are systems used in intelligence that could find use, but journalists are kind of sensitive about doing things their own way -- in my experience. The real lifeblood of a newsroom is the channels of incoming info: wires, cable tv, Google News, etc.
