Why would that be odd? Most newsrooms arose from the print space, which has no particular overlap with electronic communications. They're often late to the game and working with minimal resources to get in.
Meanwhile, newsrooms born online found it difficult to generate revenue and have been going through a collapse / consolidation cycle for at least a decade.
On the one hand you have an industry unwilling / unable to spend money on technical folk, and on the other an industry unable to make sustainable revenue.
