Have you seen what you can do with flickr? Here's an example from a gallery with a locator map in the righthand navigation.

Here's a great example of what you're looking for (even better with video and locator map): http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/topics/water/

Just found out about this site last week, and as a journalist who can code, but would love to get into more development work -- why can't I get a django stack to work -- I think this type of site could go a long way toward helping the beginners.

Wget is good, I also use HTTrack as it is a bit easier to config and has useful options http://www.httrack.com/

Totally biased, but we get a lot of good feedback about how minimalist and simple our mobile site is. It has an app-like feel with social functions and two-way communication built-in. We launched it several years ago at m.digitaljournal.com (from a mobile phone only, of course).

We've gotten quite a bit of good feedback on the mobile version of www.spokesman.com. You can access it from a desktop browser via m.spokesman.com.

We spent quite a bit of time on the redirection scheme (after one too many times of hitting a link on my phone and getting kicked to some other site's mobile homepage). Given a request from a mobile device, we look for a mobile page first, fall back to a desktop page if one exists, and absent that return you to the mobile 404 page, which has a search box on board.

We also built our own mobile ads framework, which I'm really really happy with. The mobile ads actually seem useful, I think. And we're doing geolocation as well, for both stories and ads.
