What Are The Best Content Management Systems For An Online Newspaper?
July 3rd, 2009 | 
Author: The online newspaper is going to be a high school newspaper. I’m looking for something that is efficient and easy to use (and still affordable). Something that has ease in accompanying videos would be great. If people who do not have experience with HTML/PHP would be able simply update the site with news articles, that would be great, too. I’ve researched software a bit and found Drupal or Joomla to be the most popular, but I’ve also heard of a program called PHPCow ($100), which claims to not require advanced skills such as coding. I don’t know much about the differences between Drupal and Joomla, however.

Go for drupal.org or wordpress.org
I would prefer wordpress.org for its simplicity, easy of use and very search engine friendly.
Others full blown cms’s include Joomla (joomla.org) , Xoops (xoops.org)
Why pay for something you don’t have to.
Either Drupal or even WordPress are your two best bets.http://drupal.orghttp://wordpress.org
Joomla is too bulky, and templating is the most godawful part of that program, the templating is not flexible and atrocious.
PHPCow is a Turkey. I bought it, fought it, could not get support, so abandoned the purchase and scored it to lessons learned.
