Newspapers on Drupal

The Augusta Chronicle, the oldest newspaper in the South (i.e., the southern states of the USA), has switched over to the Drupal-based Morris Site Management System.

Some details:

Going mobile with a news site that Just Works

I have created a Twitter feed block on my site by pasting the embed code from Twitter into a block. When I put < none > into the block title, it displays a block with no header.

I want a block with a header, but no text. I plan to use my own background image and title via CSS.

I have attached a screenshot of my block header. I basically put the letter "t" in the block title, in the block configuration and colored it white via css so it wouldn't display in the header. I have circled the white texted area in red.

There has to be a more obvious/easier way to do this that I'm missing.

Hi Everyone,
I am a complete newbie to drupal, after reading through most of the things posted about newspapers, i have come to a confusing point, and asuch i am calling for help, I need a complete out-of-the-box-ready-to-use-drupal-newspaper-package Modules

for content architecture
* Modules for presentation architecture
* Modules for content organizing
* Modules improving interface for journalists and writers
* Modules for user management and features for logged-in visitors
* Modules for data export
* Modules for search engine optimizing

We are now witnessing on the one hand the creation of more complex sites using WordPress with integration with social web and BuddyPress (a fully functional community website installation profile), and on the other hand a much more user friendly version 7 of Drupal and lots of pre-packaged products as OpenAtrium and OpenPublish.

And by this post I’m asking the Drupal community what can be our response to BudyPress ?
Sould we build a networking website distribution ?

For this session or panel discution I would like to use the result of several "focus groups" :

I need a simple method to allow online users to subscribe to our PRINT newspaper (not online). Basically, allowing them to subscribe to the 7-day or weekend subscriptions and letting them pay for the subscription they have chosen using Paypal.

I have looked at Ubercart and the Ecommerce modules but can't tell which would do the job best and in the easiest fashion. I don't need the user to go to a cart. Once they make their choice, they just need to complete the Paypal payment.

It would just need to be a page with information, subscription rates and a means to make payment.

I'm well aware that I can insert images within the editor panel, but I'd like more. I would like the ability to provide the user with a single 'insert' interface button that can insert a photo within its own frame and including its cutline.
I have a content type called photograph that includes its own set of supporting fields, that are distinct from articles, and I intend on allowing the selection of photographs to query against this content type when the writer creates an article.

Any advice from anyone who has seen this before?

Is anyone here familiar with ProsePoint? I'm working on a test site ... I want to have photos with credits and cutlines (captions), and I need the captions to be formatted to have a bold "kicker" that leads off the caption (the rest of the caption being in normal text).

That's not possible with the way that embedded images are handled in ProsePoint ... which is fine; I was able to set up a Photo group on another Drupal test site -- inside the Photo group was a credit field (as a node reference, so each photographer gets his/her own node) and a cutline field (text area).

Hi,

As we all know image, any file actually, management is one of Drupal's biggest weaknesses. It has been debated since the beginning and there exist a virtual labyrinth of different solutions for it. I would say that looking at all the modules touching this more or less all features needed for Drupal to have excellent file management exist. The problem though is that very little is compatible with each other (won't go into that snake pit in this post though...)

I am working for a daily newspaper part-time; I have been researching and experimenting with Drupal (and OpenPublish and ProsePoint) in the hopes of being able to convince the corporate office of the media syndicate (on the other side of the country) to consider a different CMS than the one we're currently using.

I would appreciate input, feedback, and experiences from other daily newspapers, especially on the print-to-web experience ... particularly if you are using InDesign and/or NewsEditPro.
