Show reverse ManyToMany entries in Django Admin page

In the classical example of Articles/Publications, when I create a Publication record in Admin page, I would like to be able to add existing Articles to that Publication. How can I do that?

I tried following:

class PublicationAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
      articles = Article.objects.all()
admin.site.register(Publication, PublicationAdmin)

though I do not see any articles to select at all.

I can do the other way around, when I add a new article, I can select a publication by adding 

class ArticleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    fieldsets =[('Publications', {'fields': ['publications']})]

You need to define an InlineModelAdmin on the through model, in your case the through model is Publication.article_set.through. See the docs.
