Case Study: New Hampshire Public Radio achieves expanded online reach with Acquia Cloud Site Factory (Acquia)

New Hampshire Public Radio Reaches Audiences Online with Acquia Cloud Site Factory

New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR), the Granite State’s only statewide radio news service reaching 183,000 weekly listeners, wanted to extend its on-air programming online with content-rich, individually branded microsites (topics included immigration, classical music, regional news and the 2012 campaigns). With a main Drupal site but limited internal resources for upkeep, NHPR needed a scalable way to create and manage multiple topic-driven sites while focusing on content.

Working with Acquia, NHPR adopted Acquia Cloud Site Factory to centrally build, clone and customize a Drupal design and infrastructure, giving nontechnical editors flexible CSS-based tools plus Acquia support and community-driven features. Four of ten planned microsites are live—nhimmigration.org, shiftingthebalance.nhpr.org, classicalnh.org and campaign.nhpr.org—delivering deeper, topic-focused content, expanding NHPR’s digital reach and reinforcing the station’s brand.
