Populous

Populous Project is an open-source newspaper platform that aims to give college and small town newspapers the tools they need to survive in a web 2.0 environment. The project consists of three parts; a content management system that includes audio, photo, video and text, a "digital newsroom" to allow editors and staffers to communicate with each other through mobile and online technologies and the "community news network" that will allow the community members to connect personally with their news in meaningful ways. The platform will allow community members to also publish content to the site, and is funded by the Knight News Challenge.
