A CMS driven news site backend allowing for customizing news articles, headlines, images, and misc metadata. The article hierarchy should be around 5-6 levels deep, with 6-7 misc metadata items attached to each news item. Each news item should be displayable in 4 different views. Ability to attach and re-attach unlimited number of articles to other articles.
The CMS should preferably be Drupal or EZ-publish driven, but exact technology in use can be subject to discussion, preferably PHP driven.
