In the particular case of Mexico, my country, the templates of designers and editors are very small and in some cases the departments of computer graphics, illustration and photography do not exist or are formed by one or two people. This situation is too complicated work processes, it is very difficult to plan coverage or do special jobs because people always departments with heavy workloads and little time to do so. The reporters have to cover multiple sources at once, 5 in some cases, which is reflected in the poor generation of content.
