Not here, but on the news topic, a quick scan of one box of ex-school
discs reveals I've got:
Shropshire Education, Newsroom Simulation: "Extra"
British Telecom, Computers in the Curriculum: "Scoop"
and an un-identified "Newspaper programme".

The first one seems to be a whole simulation thing, with news
bulletins coming in and so forth.  Looks quite interesting from the 30
seconds or so I played with it!

The last one is pretty basic, just allows kids to create badly spelled
pages all in capitals, at least according to the saved one I loaded
up.. lol...
