Now, getting back to the topic, before we get to the specific computer specs to go after, let’s see what a journalist usually does a computer.Īpart from a few exceptions, nearly all journalists will do a mix of the following: With the proper production apps, techniques and the right software, you can capture quality content while working quickly under deadline (this is in the last section).

I’ve also written a guide on how to make the most of your devices(phone,tablet, laptop, etc) to gather, edit and distribute news efficiently. I know some of you do not have the typical journalist job so I’m listing a few other laptops with a bit more power. You can’t get feedback on a laptop’s durability or its keyboard by reading a manufacturers description unfortunately. If you love writing so much to the point your peers are annoyed by for your long emails, then you might as well make that a pleasant experience by getting a decent keyboard. I’m not saying you should get a rubber band-rugged machine (unless you are thrown somewhere in Africa).īut you should invest on a laptop with a top of the line build quality because most of your activities will require you to be on the move.Īll that teetering and tottering is not going to do your laptop any good in the long run. However, if you are relying on cut/titles/transitions for your video editing and/or editing one picture at a time, nearly all CPUS found on laptops above 400$ with Windows 10 Home on them will be fine. In that case you may need somewhat of a powerful CPU. What about if I do some video/photo editing? Most journalists just need to stay on top of the news, connect with peers and send data back and forth through writing, audio or video. Journalists don’t necessarily have to get a high performance laptop.
