Newspapers on Drupal

I'm wondering if anyone has a favorite solution (drupal 5.x) for creating printer-friendly pages? I found the Printable module, in development release only (http://drupal.org/project/printable). Has anyone used this? Or can you suggest other alternatives?

Thanks.

Hi everybody,

My name is Jo - an exclusive Joomla web developper - but I had to reconsider this state since I plan to run a newspaper website and also after a quick visit within the drupal community. Here are the main points of my project:
- an online newspaper regrouping many authors and editors living in different countries
- manage their work by using a groupware and collaboration solution
- manage premium users with payment subscriptions and a possibility of getting dats to perform a marketting surveys
- manage classified ads

Hi everybody

We're trying to import images into nodes. And right now we're trying out two approaches.

1.
Ftp'ing images into files-dir, and passing the filname to a CCK textfield using node_save.
In the nodetemplate, we customize the field to show up in an img-tag.
This works, but it means that we cannot use imagecache, which would be really nice

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they have had success using Drupal to publish listings of movies, concerts, theatre and other events both to a newspaper while also allowing for dynamic searches on the website.

I would guess that the Events module might be a good place to start, but there maybe a better way to go that I'm not aware of.

The main challenges for us are the different ways we want to format these for print as opposed to the web.

Hi.

Do any of you guys have a module or parts of a module or just some codebits to do NITF to node parsing and insertion? I that case, I would really like to have a look. I'm considering doing my own from scratch, but a little snippet to get me going would be really cool.

Best,

Hi every one here, as you can guess, my Name is Benjamin Birkenhake. I live in two of germanys most beautifull cities: Bielfeld and Hamburg. In Bielefeld I spend the lovely weekends and in Hamburg I work for a german Newspaper. We are currently evaluating Drupal as Community-Framework.
As we are not planing to replace our major CMS with Drupal, Drupal is only an addition to our Mainsite. So my main interrestes are API and "cultural" Interfaces to other sites.

Hi -

Many of us know Mr. Yelvington from the great help he's given each of us in the Drupal community. For those of us who do, it should come as no surprise that he captured this year's Newspaper Association of America Online Innovator award:

Congratulations, Steve, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

I run a nascent citizen journalism site, itsyourtimes.com, that runs on Drupal. I'm running into problems and don't have the personal technical or staff resources to dig deep into code to fix them. I need plug-n-play, WYSIWYG tools. I'm running 4.6 on a shared server and have run into php memory issues that prevent me from using very many modules. I want a dedicated server but that's not going to happen any time soon.

Hi there.
In a local organizational newspaper I have been helping with over the years, I did an extensive investigation into NewsML as a way of standardizing archiving and editing content format for hard copy production, as a way of guaranteeing that the archive would never be isolated and impossible to translate (via xslt or other means) into a newly adopted format.
NewsML (see http://www.newsml.org ) is being used by Reuters, AFP, and in tens of the world's top newspaper organization publishers (see http://www.newsml.org/pages/whouse_main.php ).
