I need help from my blog readers. I am looking for a good e-newspaper script or software. You may ask why I need an e-newspaper software? Well, I run a local newspaper, which is gradually getting some good exposure. It is a weekly newspaper and covers mostly local news and related articles. A few weeks ago my editor-in-chief suggested me to consider an electronic version of the newspaper. His suggestion was genuine as many of our readers stays in foreign countries and a recent survey revealed that many local readers also wants an e-version. So, I took the suggestion seriously and now considering to launch the e-version in January.

I need your Help!

That’s why I am looking for something that can replicate the original version of a printed newspaper, in an user friendly format. I run websites and blogs, but I don’t have any knowledge about e-versions of newspapers. After my initial search I found that there are some scripts that can give the feel of a newspaper, by using images as pages. But, I am not happy with my search results. Can you help me find a suitable product that will help me in publishing an e-version of a printed newspaper?

I want to retain the look and feel of the paper version in my e-newspaper. That’s why when a reader visits the e-version, he/she must be able to turn pages like a printed newspaper. I know what I need here - a pageflip effect. But, I don’t know how to create a control panel like WordPress dashboard, so that my editor can manage the issues and users. Do you know about any particular script or software that works like an CMS for e-newspaper publishing? If you do, please feel free to inform me via comments or email.

Some of my friends have suggested me to hire a freelancer. So, I am also considering to hire someone to write a custom script. But, if there is something good available in the market, why should I spend my money on freelancers to develop something that I am not familiar with? What you say? That’s why, if you have any kind of experience or information related to e-newspaper publishing, please help me. I really need to decide on it, within this month. Otherwise my editor will continue to disturb me with his phone calls! Please help.
