Publishing & Media Solutions

Publishers need a CMS that keeps up with the pace of modern media — fast publishing, multi-channel delivery, and editorial workflows that scale. Drupal powers some of Europe's largest media platforms, and drunomics has been building publishing solutions on it for over 18 years. From daily news operations to magazine content pools, we deliver systems that editors love and readers experience as lightning-fast.

The Challenges

Media and publishing organizations face growing pressure:

• Multi-channel demand — Content must reach web, app, social media, newsletters, and print
• Editorial bottlenecks — Complex approval chains slow down time-to-publish
• Traffic spikes — Breaking news can multiply traffic 10x in minutes
• Legacy CMS lock-in — Proprietary systems are expensive and inflexible
• SEO competition — Organic traffic is a revenue lifeline
• Accessibility requirements — The EAA mandates WCAG compliance for digital services [12]

Key Benefits

Drupal addresses these challenges with a publishing platform built for editorial speed and scale:

• Editorial workflows — Draft, review, approve, publish with role-based permissions — eliminating editorial bottlenecks
• Multi-channel output — One content source, published to web, app, social, and newsletter — meeting multi-channel demand from a single platform
• Performance at scale — Decoupled architecture handles millions of page views and traffic spikes without breaking a sweat
• SEO built-in — Structured data, meta tags, XML sitemaps, and fast load times — keeping you competitive in organic search
• AI-powered features — Automated tagging, translation support, and content suggestions — accelerating editorial workflows
• Media management — Advanced image handling, video embedding, and asset libraries
