  "full_text": "Resourceful reporters at the Chicago Sun- Times, accustomed to doing data analysis on PC's at home, got a morale booster with the appointment of their new managing editor. Julia Wallace left USA Today in September to take the helm at the Sun-Times. - Wallace helped establish USA Today's computer-assisted reporting program and was managing editor of special projects when she left. \"USA Today had a very structured program,\" explained Wallace. \"We don't have the same resources here, but some people have already figured out how to use computers for the appropriate stories.\" The Sun-Times' upcoming conversion to a PC-based network should help get data analysis out of reporters' living rooms and into the newsroom. When USA Today started its computer- assisted reporting program, it was a luxury that gave the paper an edge over competitors, said Wallace. But she now considers such technol- ogy a necessity. \"Times have changed so much that it's just another thing newspapers have to be able to do,\" said Wallace.",
