I still maintain, as I did in December January, that it is entirely possible to create a publishing company with zero investment in software licenses. It’s the destruction of that barrier to entry that is crushing the big publishers more than any other. [...] [...] Back to the title of this post.

The medium is definitely affecting the message. I have not tried SPIP but will check it out. There are tons of open sourced CMSs -- I have experience with Drupal -- but the more I get sucked into the Wordpress environment the more convinced I am of its CMS capabilities. Esteban:

I do have a couple of questions, though. When you talk about the old school (print) vs the new school (web) (I know it's on another post), do you think the essence of journalism has changed? or is it just the way news are delivered that has changed? to put it in other words, do you think that the increasing importance on web publishing is changing the way news are conceived and written? The second question is relevant to this post (finally!!). Have you ever tried SPIP (http://www.spip.net/en)? I've found out its a great News Publishing CMS, very flexible and customizable, with a learning curve somewhat steeper than that of Wordpress, but able to manage sections, news, feeds and even blogs in a wonderful way. Only thing is, most of the documentation is in French, Merci! An outstanding saga about journalism; a Subject I know nothing about. I do have a couple of questions, though.
