Daily newspaper logic, built into WordPress.
Aeon News extends WordPress into a decade-tested editorial platform for publishers who need a real front page, controlled article hierarchy, serious commercial formats, app distribution, AI-ready workflows, and the kind of structure normally associated with much larger newspaper systems.
