Pulse News - News and Magazine CMS PHP Script
Description
Pulse News is a publishing system for news portals, online newspapers, digital magazines and multi-author blogs. It covers the front page your readers see and the newsroom work behind it.
Editors build the homepage from sections such as featured, breaking, latest, trending, most-read, category blocks, video stories, photo galleries and a reporter spotlight, each with its own layout. Articles move through draft, review, approval and scheduled publishing, and reporters can apply through the website and submit stories for approval.
The script is plain PHP and installs on standard shared hosting.
