Building a newspaper or magazine website with WordPress

  • Magazine
  • Responz
  • Indigo
  • News Pro

WordPress is used by many of the world’s leading brands, including some of the leading news publishers. Especially since WordPress is easy to use, flexible, and can serve a large number of audience segments.

There are two types of WordPress websites. The first is WordPress.com, which is a fully hosted solution, and then you have wordpress.org, which is also known as self-hosted WordPress.

We recommend using WordPress.org hosted on your server, as it gives you access to all WordPress functions by default.

To get started, you will need a domain name and a WordPress hosting account.

With that said, now let’s take a look at some of the best WordPress themes you can use for a newspaper website.
