    I’ll bet my boots that the Guardian site was made in house or at least based on a specialised news publishing system. nymag.com looks like a custom job as well IMHO.

    “a specialised news publishing system” vs “looks like a custom job as well” I dont get it the difference, you mean both are made custom in each company?

    There are companies who specialise in (expensive) content management systems for large organisations like Newspaper groups, often they supply a core system with support and tailor made customisation services etc. I believe they used to run on the Vignette platform - http://www.vignette.com/ - but that was some time ago so they might have changed.
