drupal sites

Kieran Lal of Acquia put together a slideshow of 50 newspapers and magazines using Drupal - it's great to see how many news organizations that have adapted Drupal as a framework.

The Public Press www.public-press.org is a concept for the next-generation daily newspaper. We're organizing a group of journalists, technologist and nonprofit managers to organize a new newsroom for the San Francisco Bay Area that would produce a Web site, daily print newspaper and collaborations with nonprofit news-gathering organizations locally and nationally. We've built a simple Drupal 6 site that we will be growing in the coming weeks and months, and we plan to start publishing on the Web using this platform.

Hi everyone

I work for the University of Sheffield's Department of Journalism Studies as IT Officer. For the second year running I've developed a convergence website. This year using Drupal.

We run postgraduate courses in print, broadcast, web and magazine journalism and for the past two years have added a convergent element to the courses, as we understand (as does the rest of the journalism education community) the importance giving students a relevant and broad understanding of new media within journalism.

Hi everyone

I have relaunched the Newswatch (http://www.newswatch.in) site, and of course it has been remade with Drupal. I am calling this a Beta version primarily because the site isn't populated much.

Just briefly:
i) Two major section pages: NewsBlog and Features. Other section pages will be developed as and when there is sufficient content to play around with.
ii) The site makes extensive use of Contemplate, CCK, Views, NodeQueue and Node Images: best example for a variety of such combinations would be the homepage itself
iii) Number of content types: 16

Kristine Lowe interviews Nikolai Thyssen about Danish news sites using Drupal for Journalism.co.uk, the British journalism website.

“The price of Drupal is an in-house developer. You get some good building blocks, but you have to think of Drupal as a framework rather than as plug and play: you have to discover everything for yourself,” said Nikolai Thyssen, head of new media for Information.dk.

We are going to launch a new travel website.

Let us know if you see any bugs.

It's the first stage of the project and we are looking to increase interaction with the readers. Do you have any User Generated Content suggestions?
We were thinking of uploading photos, posting stories and blogs, sharing tips and advice...
Please feel free to share your views below.

Thanks

We've recently redesigned our website, so I took the time to do a small writeup and look back on our switch to Drupal a while ago. Hope you enjoy the read.

Making the transit from Textpattern to Drupal

Hello all,

I wanted to introduce myself, and our now-powered-by-Drupal sites, PilotOnline.com and HamptonRoads.com. I'm Jeff Anderson, and I work as the product development manager for the interactive division of The Virginian-Pilot newspaper based in Norfolk, Virginia. The Pilot is a top 50/60 U.S. daily newspaper by circulation size, and PilotOnline.com was one of the first newspaper websites to go online in the early 1990s. Along with its sister site HamptonRoads.com, a local portal focused on entertainment, community and local guides, we recently ranked No. 6 in the U.S. in terms of the percentage of users in a local market who use a particular locally-focused site. On December 10, we re-launched both sites on a customized Drupal 5.x platform.

As part of the Google Highly Open Participation Contest, add1sun has posted a quick how-to guide for creating a student newspaper with Drupal.

GHOP provides incentives for high school students to participate in open source software projects. As a Summer of Code mentor, I urge everyone to participate. It's a great way to give back to the Drupal community.
