Some thoughts:

That might get busy.

I really think that "login" should be on the page, because otherwise
people won't login, and logging in keeps them from having to type
their personal information every time the post.

To let you know you are logged in.  It's pretty typical of web sites
that allow logging in (e.g. yahoo) but I don't have a strong
preference as to whether it stays.

> - move media gallery to another place so publish can rise and be removed from top nav

I can't grok that sentence.  What is "publish" and how would it
"rise?"

> - list on-going stories - allow publishers to catagorize their stories in these areas

Can you elaborate?


Other than those questions/concerns, everything you wrote looks good
to me.
