I have been asked by three different readers of comp.text.sgml to
summarize the replies I have received regarding SGML's existing
applications in the newspaper business.  Any and all further information
will be more than welcome. 

Here's what was reported to me:

AP recently put out for discussion an "SGML based DTD" for wire stories.
-- thanks to Frank Dunn

There is already an IPTC/ANPA standard for the delivery envelope for
wire pictures, though it's not in common use yet.  Reuters may use
it when they start delivering digital pictures next year.  
-- thanks to Frank Dunn

The CAPS project at University of Bradford (?) has developed an
SGML DTD for newspapers for the blind (published in Braille, I gather).
-- thanks to Tom Wesley.
