the Harvard Nieman Journalism Lab published a link to an article by Matt Thompson
Published June 13, 2011 outlining "4 ways content management systems are evolving & why it matters to journalists "
Al Jazeera envisioned “The Stream” as a show and online news source built on top of the robust conversation taking place on social media outlets worldwide. So when the site chose the content management system that would handle the program’s online presence, they started with software created to curate that conversation — Storify. The Web app lets mainstream users easily pull together stories from posts on social media sites.
Online producers for “The Stream” build stories in Storify that get pulled into an installation of Drupal, where they’re edited, approved and published to the Web. The Storify-plus-Drupal combo brings “The Stream” team several advantages:
Storify gives producers a slick, easy-to-use interface to pull in nuggets from the social media conversation.
Drupal handles the task of publishing the site, enabling “The Stream” to keep publishing even if Storify is unavailable.
It also adds capabilities that Storify doesn’t yet have, such as handling Google Maps.
Going over to Storify and setting up an account, http://http://storify.com/ - creates this very easy to use platform that would be great to offer users to created articles, press releases, blogs. .. very intuitive.. Then Leverage the power of drupal to make a robust website.
My skill set is nowhere near being able to pull this off.. but, it certainly would be helpful to publishing / news ..etc. And, I guess, AlJazeera's developers have done this somehow..
Presently, Storify allows users to publish stories to your other blogs and websites
Twitter, facebook, wordpress, preposterous, tumblr, and mailchimp.

Checking to see if there has been any progress with Storify. I see the link to the sandbox module is broken. Thanks.
Opps, nevermind. I see you have a working module for this: http://drupal.org/project/storypal
