Another thing to think about is the use of images: who will take the pictures, and have them developed (or will the images be digital, to save on some costs?)

Most images for newspapers look 100% better using a "real" camera rather than a less expensive digital camera. (the issue is resolution rates and image size for the computer systems.)

I've been a newspaper and magazine photog since 1970, my start in the newspaper racket was as a news photog. If we need fotos, we can get 'em, either utilizing the best of the new technology as it develops [word carefully chosen!] or the old tried-and-true way if necessary. We CAN make it happen, aside from the easy use of shots from wireservices, stringers, freelancers and stock shot houses.

No big deal. A lot more has to be worked out before worrying about pic content becomes a particularly major consideration.
