The Revolution News theme can literally save you thousands of dollars, and is a very inexpensive way to have your newspaper website look like a newspaper, and not a blog.

One of the most common requests Brian Gardner received while discussing custom WordPress themes with clients was the suggestion to design their site so that it looked like a newspaper, and didn’t look like a blog.
