Now, there's talk of integrating the current MyMo site with the regular ColumbiaMissourian site and, although I know almost nothing really about programming, I know the traditional site's CMS can't do anything that citizen journalism needs. Maybe we could get them to ditch their fancy CMS and publish the whole paper with WordPress.
