According to The Gainesville Sun:

“The University of Florida’s College of Journalism and Communications has taken sides in the Mac vs. PC debate, if the college’s new requirement is any indication. The college will require students to buy Mac computers starting in the fall, participants in a UF panel on the future of journalism said Tuesday. Students will also be required to buy a software package, audio recorders and cameras able to shoot video, said David Carlson, director of college’s Center for Media Innovation and Research. As reporters become more mobile and self-reliant, he said, such technology is increasingly needed for reporting.”
