Three More Newspapers Migrating to Drupal
Hi all,
I'm leading the conversion of three NC newspapers to Drupal 6, the first of which is The Daily Reflector. With our first big Drupal 5 site completed (to be upgraded to D6 soon) and many lessons learned, I figured it was time to start contributing back in the form of writeups and possible modules with this project.
Case Study: Fight Back! Newspaper Re-Launched Using Drupal
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.

Swedish newspaper Drupal deplayment
Hi Group! Since I started working on a newspaper website upgrade two years ago - I've found a lot of good advice around here. So I thought I'd make a write-up on what I've done, as well as pose a question.
My workplace, Fria Tidningar, had a setup with a publishing system called Scoop, and an automatic web export to PHPnuke which was really starting to show its age when I came here 2.5 years ago. The company then published 4 newspapers, today 8, with different premises (4 of the papers are local) - but some shared content.

just launched new news community using drupal
Hi everyone,
We've just launched a new news-site using Drupal. http://www.theblogpaper.co.uk/. We aim to publish the first free user generated newspaper in London UK by the End of August/ Beginning of September 2009.
So the concept in a nutshell basically is that users of theblogpaper.co.uk can upload articles, photos and engage in discussions. The highest rated and most discussed content will be promoted to the printed version of the blogpaper. Our intention is basically to create a weekly review of what has been going on within the blogging community, and what the community found worthy to be printed and is read by potentially more. Our main goal is to create a platform for bloggers, citizen journalists, photographers and other "content creators" which allows them to get further exposure and maybe reach out to new readerships.
