One straightforward way
One straightforward way would be to use Taxonomy to create a category ("Issues," perhaps) in which each of the terms is identified with an individual issue (June 2008, July 2008, etc). Then use Views to create issue views that display content from one issue only.
Another way would be to use the posted on date (rather than the taxonomy system) as the information on which Views sorts nodes.
I'm sure there are some tutorials that describe ways of doing this in the Newspapers on Drupal learning resources guide: http://groups.drupal.org/freelinking/Some%2520Drupal%2520learning%2520re...
