newspapers

Fight Back! is a grassroots newspaper that exists to build the people's struggle and “provides coverage and analysis of some of the key battles facing working and low-income people”. The newspaper was founded in 1999 by a core of activists who wanted an independent publication to help with their organizing efforts for social justice, peace, and equality. Ten years and nearly two thousand articles later, an all-volunteer staff and dozens of correspondents across the country report (in English and Spanish) from the front lines of the most important struggles facing working and oppressed peoples in the United States and internationally.

I'm building a newspaper site, and along with it, an archive of all our past issues. When somebody selects on a particular issue, it will list all the articles from that issue. What I'd like to accomplish is what this site does (http://tinyurl.com/nuvw4t).

(Note: I tried submitting the original URL, but apparently the spam filter here doesn't like the word "5ocialist". Red Scare?!)

This post inspired by reply of http://groups.drupal.org/user/6482 in similar post.

So, I need "enterprise" solution and can't figure out the way to do.
Imagefield is not acceptable for that.
I want reuse my images.

Example:
I have article about local event. There was vip-person on this event and sponsors.
Sponsors images will appear only here in this article.
vip-person image i get from "vip-person" gallery
event images from "This event" gallery

What is the easiest way for editor to add article and images to drupal?

A major Buenos Aires newspaper has invited me to give a presentation early next week on using Drupal.

Apart from the obvious opportunity for myself individually, I feel that the talk will be a great responsibility in that I am representing Drupal itself, and not simply my own services.

I have some great ideas for the presentation, but in light of this responsibility, I would like to receive input from this group in particular.

There's a Newsindustry BoF @ DrupalCon DC2009.

Drop a comment, if you wanna come: http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/node/300

Thanks to webrat for suggesting the BoF.

In the section Modules: Content display, some newspaper/magazine modules are listed: E-Publish, Innovation News, E-Journal. If there were webmasters or developers in this group who have tried them, I think it would be useful for many of us to know your opinions and experiences. Thank you.

On a newspapers site, I need to do something like this:

http://www.flashpageflip.com/demos/free

The source file I will have is a pdf of the actual printed newspaper, so ideally I would like to create a node and just upload the pdf and drupal auto-magically creates a page flip flash as shown above in the example.

I have searched around drupal.org for hours and been googling, but all the page flip software I have found thus far is paid software.

The closest module I have come across is http://drupal.org/project/ipaper

Hi,

Just wanted to pop my head in and let everyone know of the new release of ProsePoint (www.prosepoint.org), a CMS for publishing online newspapers and magazines.

If you look closely at ProsePoint, you'll discover it's derived from Drupal. In fact, it's a Drupal distribution bundled into a single tarball for easy download. Of course, that means there's third party code in there, but it's all in the name of making life easier for end users.

Hi,

We need a pro drupal developer to build an online newspaper based on Drupal. You will be responsible for the migration of the database (currently in SQL), the definition of the suitable architecture (apache, nginx;) and the development of the site itself. The newspaper will be somewhat similar to the observer.com (also developed in drupal). The deadline's short (end of the year) so we need you to start working as soon as possible.
