Publica

About this template

Publica is a newspaper-grade magazine template for newsrooms, magazines and serious blogs. Everything is CMS-driven: add a story, pick its section, authors, topics and layout, and it appears on the front page, in its section, on its topic pages and in the author's archive.

Features

Five story layouts per post: Standard, Banner, Cover, Immersive (full-height photo under a transparent header) and Video with the story's own cover as poster.

Rotating featured banner with three stories and timed progress ticks, plus a dense four-story strip.

Home sections fed from the CMS: Lede strip, Most Read, Briefing, section bands and columns.

Posts, Sections, Authors and Topics collections with archive pages, pagination and a Latest page.

Co-authors with overlapping avatars and "Name & Name" bylines.

Article tools: contents rail from headings, computed read time, pull quotes, image lightbox, tags, previous/next stories and a Written-by card.
