Free online newspaper, magazine progam

One Drupal spinoff was created specifically for those who want a newspaper or magazine web site, but who want it free.

Prosepoint to the rescue. This is a free Open Source project begun by someone who decided that people who wanted such software could download it and start running it out of the box. An example of one such site is here.

There are many community newspapers and magazines across the county that don’t have a high-dollar budget to buy such software, which could run into the hundreds, or thousands, of dollars. Not only that, these organizations (and, in some case, individuals) also don’t have a lot of time learning new software, or finding a compatible theme to work with it. Once again, ProsePoint is the answer.

According to the program’s creator, “ProsePoint is a software package that lets you quickly and easily publish your own newspaper or magazine online. You can upload stories, edit stories online, and organise stories into editions, all through the user-friendly and convenient web interface. You do not need to know any programming or html.”

ProsePoint also has a demo site, which you can find here.
