Django is used by a lot of newspaper / news sites, but they generally
use it to build the CMS that fits their exact needs. That's kind of
the point of using a framework like Django rather than a CMS like
Drupal - you don't suffer from the "opinions" of the CMS, and instead
use the tools provided (plus re-usable apps) to build a system that
fits your org perfectly.

That said, newspapers do have a lot of needs in common, and Ellington
has been the big commercial Django CMS tuned to that need. But the
Knight Foundation, who have sponsored innovation and advancement in
news publication for decades, have just awarded nearly a million
dollars to the Bay Citizen and the Texas Tribune (two big Django news
shops) to develop an open source Django-based CMS tuned to news needs:

Until that's release, your best bet is to do what all news orgs using
Django do - use it to build the CMS you need.
