What are some good school newspaper publishing software?

Question

My cousin wants to start a school newspaper and his teacher said he has to find publishing software.

Answer 1

My bet is that Microsoft Word would be an ideal choice. There are other specialty software packages, but that's overkill. Microsoft Word for Windows has multiple variable width columns, drag and drop graphics and pictures, and excellent editing capability. You can save it out to HTML if you want to keep back issues on the web.

Why pay thousands of dollars for software that may be less capable in many ways.
