While being true, the production of a newspaper isn't
nearly as demanding as other forms of desktop
publishing. At one time, I was a pasteup artist on a
city daily. In those days it had an AM and a PM.
Frankly, with the exception of color pictures, most
newspapers look exactly as they did during the physical
pasteup days. Glossy magazines, on the other hand, have
really tweaked and redefined the medium using the
available software and whatever style innovation is
this week's flavor. Quark 3.3 should do you fine for
the next five years considering how staid most print
newspapers remain.
