I have currently been pulled into developing a site for a local newspaper that uses Mediaspan software to publish their paper. I am a developer, not a newspaper person, so I am not familiar with this particular application. Does anyone else use this, and if so, is there an easy way to export articles out of it into a Drupal site?

Also, is the Classified module worthy?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings! I am a former newspaper lackey who is currently tasked with fleshing out the integration of DTP apps in our company (I work for a non-profit telco co-op) with our online presence both externally through our company website and internally on our intranet. Both of these environments are powered by Drupal exclusively.

We finally posted the writeup on how we did information.dk:

I've just put together a simple Drupal site for internal use at our popular science magazine. I can't share the site with you, but I've written a brief description of its functions and how it was built. I hope it may be useful for some other people.

Hi,

Firstly, the site I built using drupal: Cue Online

As some of you know, I work for the University of Nevada's Reynolds School of Journalism. I’ve been working with their graduate program to develop OurTahoe.org as well as individual graduate student projects looking at the new ways "Web2.0" technologies can be used by journalists. Some of the projects resulted in Drupal modules like Promise.

For an upcoming citizen journalism project we need to set up a moderation procedure for stories that is not cumbersome. Moderation can be done in many ways in Drupal.

Can anyone suggest the best module combo that can do this?

TIA.

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, take a look at the gorgeous New York Observer site, that just relaunched on Drupal: http://www.observer.com

The fine people behind it did a very nice writeup in the showcase forum: http://drupal.org/node/141187
