What would you use to "build your own" wire service for a company?

I'm developing a proposal to overhaul the way my company thinks about communication. One of the major components that would allow this to work is the creation of what is essentially a "wire service". What software already exists to do this? (lots of details inside)
We have a "noise" problem in our communications - all the departments are shouting so loud that our stakeholders aren't HEARING the message. In an effort to practically streamline communications I'm proposing a complete overhaul of our comms procedures. The centerpiece of this would be a central repository that:
My company has about 30,000 employees, all of whom are potential content creators. Realistically we'd be looking at about 1,000 active creators. This may be accessed (reading only) by our client base as well (200k+) so I'm looking for something robust. Cost is not a major factor at this juncture.
Realistically the actual software is outside of my scope for this, but it will make my presentation much more credible if I have something I can at least refer to myself for a realistic view of what capabilities are available on the ready made market.

- All creators could submit articles to
- Creators could write an abstract of their article
- Would allow multiple types of tags
- Role Based Tags (ie, Manager, End User)
- Content Based Tags
- Action Based Tags (ie, FYI, Distribute, Complete)
- Would then allow reports to be run based on tags or multiples of tags, so there would be a "Curator" in charge of the manager mailing list, they would see all articles tagged manager and decide what was relevant based on the abstract

Salesforce.com has Chatter, which is a social media component, and they have a content repository. Tons of examples exist at their website, as we'll as on You Tube. I love Salesforce. I love it so much!

Maybe an enterprise content management framework like eZ Publish? We've implemented it more than a few times in a hybrid Internet / Intranet type of model.

WordPress could do this. There's an "extract" field, tags, support for filtering by multiple tags (e.g. with a url like http://domain/blog/tag/tag1+tag2) and support for making rss feeds by tag/multiple tags (e.g with a url like http://domain/blog/tag/tag1+tag2/feed/).
