The part of this that worries me is that journalists will often have embargoed, confidential (classified?) information open on their monitors from time to time. Obviously this doesn’t matter in the part of the newsroom that reviews restaurants, but imagine this at the Guardian or Washington Post during the snowden leaks etc. It’s much easier to seize a DVR containing videos of all the secret communications than to get a source some other way... I hope most news outlets that deal with truly sensitive data have something akin to SCIFs, but you never know what pops up in someone’s cubicle...
