Each news room is re-inventing the wheel in its own way... collaborate?

Each news room is re-inventing the wheel in it's own way because they're competing with each other. There needs to be a way the newsrooms could collaborate so they build a system to accommodate the base needs, then they would be doing something smart. Or they should all throw a bit of their money toward google and just start building stuff. instead they all run around trying to do the same...

Sounds like a job for open source free software like Drupal, jumpstarted by http://groups.drupal.org/knight-foundation
