Greetings all. I have a problem/concept I've been struggling with. I
have an app called News with three models: Article, Press Release and
Event. Each model has some fields in common (headline, date, body) and
other fields unique to each model. I had initially thought to combine
the three models into one mega-model, but didn't like the way it
worked in the admin tool. I felt it would be too confusing to have
optional fields for each type.

The problem with three models is that in practice I'm using them all
together, typically sorted by date. I want to use generic views to
show the list of news items as well as the detail view. Unfortunately
I cannot think of a way to combine the data from the three models in a
way to use them with a generic wrapper because I believe a generic
view requires a queryset and a queryset cannot be comprised of
different (but similar) models.

I'm assuming others before me have run into this issue and figured out
an elegant solution. Let me also say I'm a bit of a beginner in the
framework and working on my first project, so it's not unlikely that
I'm completely missing something.

Thank you!
