The story you might be thinking about is "Michaelmas"
by A. Burdrys (?sp?). Michaelmas is a tv reporter and
ex technofreek who has built a semi-senient computer
which has tapped into a bunch of other computers and
communication lines. He is using this ability to reduce
the problems in the world by exposing crime and corruption
before it gets out of hand. When he is away from home
he communicates with the computer by using a radio
disguised as a portable recorder( with video ...) as
is normally used in his work. Sorry I dont have the
ISBN number or copyright date its at home - and I just
broke my recorder.
