Hello all, I am new to django.
I am heard about Django is comes from a Newspaper group, but never found a Newspaper CMS. (Not meant Django-CMS)
PHP has many Newspaper CMS like Joomla! and Drupal. If anyone tell me where can I find Open source CMS for Newspaper written in Django?

Thanks

That wasn't very helpful.

He could tell it himself, but you should really read the messages you
are replying to.

Django is used by a lot of newspaper / news sites, but they generally
use it to build the CMS that fits their exact needs. That's kind of
the point of using a framework like Django rather than a CMS like
Drupal - you don't suffer from the "opinions" of the CMS, and instead
use the tools provided (plus re-usable apps) to build a system that
fits your org perfectly.

That said, newspapers do have a lot of needs in common, and Ellington
has been the big commercial Django CMS tuned to that need. But the
Knight Foundation, who have sponsored innovation and advancement in
news publication for decades, have just awarded nearly a million
dollars to the Bay Citizen and the Texas Tribune (two big Django news
shops) to develop an open source Django-based CMS tuned to news needs:

http://www.niemanlab.org/2011/03/wordpress-for-news-orgs-knight-gives-bay-citizen-texas-tribune-975000-for-open-source-cms/

Until that's release, your best bet is to do what all news orgs using
Django do - use it to build the CMS you need.

Thanks Shacker, this is really helped me. this is really what I want to.
Ellington is Commercial, not for free. Armstrong CMS is good and open source.
but it says it will released at June 2011. and I will wait :)

There are a number of CMS options for django.

You can find a nice comparison here:
http://djangopackages.com/grids/g/cms/

I've used Mezzanine and it's very good, but might not be the best for
a large newspaper site.

It all depends on your needs, so I'd probably try out a couple of the
CMS's on that list to figure which you like best and then customize it
from there to fit your needs.
