Anyone knows a newspaper CMS?
By the way: Does anyone know a CMS that is able to distinguish between an author of an article and the publisher? These two roles are commonly treated as the same, which is suitable for a blog or company site. However, for a newspaper this isn't the case.
More requirements:
- Written in PHP
- Using MySQL
- Open Source
- Offering templates and plugin hooks

Hi Gerd,
Textpattern makes this distinction. You can set permissions (in lib/admin_config.php - this will eventuall move into the db together with an interface), such that one group can only create and edit drafts, and another group can publish this article. However it does not save who is the repsonsible publisher for an article - only who was the last person to edit it - which might be a problem if you have many publishers. If you're still interested and have some more questions just ask (I am subscribing to the comments).
It does meet all other criteria. Templates are only stored in teh database and have to be edited through the interface. Plugin-Hooks are plenty, especially for adding functionality to the admin-side (which is btw not templatable, except for changing css and images); For the templates/front-end it uses a tag based language, which can be equally used to call built-in functions and plugin-functions.
