For what it's worth, you might have a look at ProsePoint (www.prosepoint.org) - they've built a custom version of Drupal using an installation profile and some custom modules that delivers an interesting solution for newspaper-style sites. Maybe you cannot use it "out of the box", but it looks great for ideas and inspiration. I am using it for a personal project.

Our student newspaper is dropping their print edition and they've approached me about doing the paper online using Drupal. I think it's a great idea, and would like to ask if anyone has done this? If so, feel like sharing tips, experiences, handy modules, pitfalls, etc? Thanks!
