  • PEJ's needs were somewhat complex.  The organization desired a comprehensive, flexible website management tool that would accommodate their staff's need to publish content each day.  In addition, PEJ needed the web site to integrate and support the News Index application, which its researchers use to collect data regarding prominent issues in the news media. The resulting solution was required to be scalable for projected growth, in terms of additional features and web traffic.

    What We Did

    For website content management, Phase2 delivered a customized Drupal CMS to manage in-house developed content and aggregated feeds from external content providers. Synthesized content and data for the News Index application is then imported into a 3rd party charting application and the resulting charts and images are made available as digital assets, which PEJ integrates into their content using the CMS.

    Features

    • Aggregated content feeds
    • Integrated, third-parting charting application
