menu auto update

I'm halfway threw setting up a newspaper site and I think I have everything figured out except the best way to approach the menu. Given its a weekly newspaper updating the menu by hand would be rough given the 50+ sections of the paper that would need to change. My first idea was to use views to limit the node with a single "checkbox" value then just show that View. But thats really going to screw with Google and I would rather use the Scheduler module anyway. Is there a way to setup my menus to auto update to the newest published article?
