Thinking about redesigning your website? Talk to us!
We can talk through where things are with our new Core Publisher CMS, how that might affect your timeline (or not), and take you through our current design specs, your thoughts, etc.
We’re always happy to review your wire frames or mock ups for compatibility with our systems, and give as much (or as little) aesthetic feedback as you like.
The following Core Publisher sites are live, and listed in no particular order. Take a look and let us know what you think of them.
What are your thoughts? Questions? Curious to learn more? Visit our Core Publisher Blog.
Congratulations to KPLU! KPLU, a Core Publisher pilot station, has a new site!
While their Core Publisher site has been live as their news section for a few months, “The River”, is now their new home page, putting it front and center to further test the idea of building audience through online news.

Drupal 7!
I am happy and proud to announce that Core Publisher is now running the official release of Drupal 7.0, which became available this morning as scheduled.

And last, but certainly not least…Core Publisher. It really has been an exciting year for us. This year, we underwent some soul-searching and strategy work that resulted in a shift in our vision. In addition to developing and maintaining a technology and services architecture that supports public media online, we’re also expanding our mission to focus on helping stations build online audience.
Nine months ago we announced the launch of Core Publisher, a new way to build websites and manage your digital content using open source technology. We took applications for stations to be part of the development process in March and by June, had announced six pilot stations.
From the decision to use Drupal to the addition of editorial training and staff to the launch of the first Core pilot station (Innovation Trail) to the recent launch of all the core pilot news stations, the rivers of news are flowing steadily!
More Core Pilot Stations launching, see http://core.publicinteractive.com/2010/11/core-publisher-stations-on-election-night/ for all the juicy details.
Are you heading to WSPR in Las Vegas? Meet some of the star members of the PI team — Joe Orlando, Phil Johnson, Ki-Min Sung and Keith Hopper.
The conference is jam-packed with valuable sessions on diversity, growing the audience, increasing donations, and the landscape of Public Media in the future.
And, as at ERPM, stations can participate in the well-received Digital News Day on Nov 6th, and learn about best practices in digital news delivery. The Knight Digital Media Center partnered with NPR and recently hosted a “Future of Local News and Public Media” summit for management teams of stations participating in the PI Core Pilot project. We have adapted the agenda to offer a one-day summit following both conferences.

And, at both ERPM and WSPR, stations can participate in Digital News Day, and learn about best practices in digital news delivery. The Knight Digital Media Center partnered with NPR for several strategies and skills training sessions over the past year, and recently hosted a “Future of Local news and Public Media” summit for management teams of stations participating in the PI Core Pilot project. We have adapted the agenda to offer a one-day summit following both conferences.
PI’s own Keith Hopper and Ki-Min Sung will lead sessions on extending this new model to general news, see details here: http://core.publicinteractive.com/2010/10/digital-news-day-at-erpm/

We’d like to thank all the stations who participated in March 4th’s webinar on the Future of Public Interactive and the new Core Publisher Pilot project. Over 260 stations registered, and we wished we had more time to answer your questions.
If you missed it, you can replay the webinar on the Core Publisher Blog. You’ll find application details and more info as well.
This is a great opportunity to grow your station’s digital presence AND be part of a service that will support public media stations for years to come. Please share this news with your programming and digital staff and let us know if you have any questions. We’re eager for stations of ALL sizes and formats to apply, and we hope you consider it. Applications are due March 18th, so don’t delay!
