If I could ever get over the fact that they are using Wordpress, I still wouldn't be able to explain how a single person can set dates and publish stories on their own?!
- ktm5j 8y agoAt some point, it's one persons responsibility to enter that date into a computer in some fashion.. is he supposed to share the keyboard with someone?
- travisjungroth 8y agoYou require someone to verify the date. Then the verifier accepts them without looking because they've never been wrong before, and then we're right back where we started, except with more people to blame.

- bovermyer 8y agoWordPress is used a lot more commonly in the news industry than you think.
- lgregg 8y agoIt’s better than using WordPress to run ecommerce. News content types are close enough to blogs.
- hluska 8y agoI don't work for TNW and have never written for them, but web editing often works like this: 1.) Author submits an article often as a word file. 2.) Editor starts working on the word file. 3.) Author and editor do 1-5 rounds of edits using track changes. 4.) Editor says "Great, post it to run at xx:xx on mm-dd." 5.) The author actually logs in and makes the post. If you're thinking that technology we use every day could solve this problem, you're right! Alas, it's harder to fix years of habits than the technical issues behind the habits.
- heneryville 8y agoI worked on a project to replace a Wordpress content site. The tech team selected React + Redux + NoSQL + microservices + all the other hip words. It took 12 months and cost 1.2 million dollars to build, and turned out to be feature equivalent to the original Wordpress site that was built in under a month. Sometimes Wordpress is the right answer.
