due to historical reasons, we use an ODS file to store press entries, which has several drawbacks. a) it's a binary file and not versioning friendly. b) it requires unoconv and libreoffice for conversion which is a pain to use on Mac. c) we don't really need all the features of ODS. plaintext is good enough.

Proposal: use csv instead.

@sbaks0820 any thoughts? One drawback of csv is you need to escape commas carefully.

I think csv is fine. With a good library to handle all of the edge cases, it isn't that hard to correctly add rows to csvs.
