In 2006 it adopted Drupal for both news and blogs at a href=http://savannahnow.com/SavannahNow.com/a, the website of the Savannah Morning News. Both newspapers won Digital Edge awards for innovation in user participation./p pSince then, the digital media arm of Morris Communications, a href=http://www.morrisdigitalworks.com/Morris DigitalWorks/a, has developed a robust digital newspaper platform built on Drupal 6, to eventually power all 13 of its daily newspapers. Morris also uses Drupal for its radio stations and a href=http://skirt.comSkirt.com/a, a national specialty site for women./p h3Reader Participation/h3 pMorris has made a commitment to make their online platform a dynamic arena for reader participation and contributions. Readers are encouraged to comment on stories and blogs, and, on some papers, are encouraged to create their own blogs on the site. Journalists are expected to post news online immediately and to interact with the public, and they need to be able to do it without learning HTML or tools such as FTP. These requirements made Drupal a natural choice./p pa href=http://drupal.org/node/718804 target=_blankread more/a/p
