Actually, I know several journos who use Debian. It makes testing and evaluating SW packages trivial. Andrew Orlowski of The Register tends to use his iBook, Debian, and a Symbian handheld (he's totally ga-ga over Symbian) as his core platforms. Most of the main Reg staff run GNU/Linux in one form or another -- Tom Greene, John Lettice, and Andrew. Shankland's an old Unix admin, though I don't know what he runs these days.
