What computer program should you use to write your school's newspaper?

Question

Last year, I was a Journalism I student and I was so good that I did a lot of work on our school's yerabook (Kings High School, 9th in the country), and wrote some articles for our newsmagazine. My articles were even recepted in our school's community as even funnier/sincere than those who were in Journalism II. Next year I'm taking journalism II, and will be the youngest editor-in-chief of our newspaper ever. I'm really organized, confident, open-minded, and well-rounded/liked... I feel our school needs to do a professional quality paper, with the full layout style not the magazine... what computer program do you use for that... for yearbook we use Adobe InDesign?

Answer 1

Adobe Indesign and Illustrator.

Answer 2

Answer 4

And congrats on being the youngest editor-in-chief of your school newspaper!

(I'll be co-editor-in-chief of mine next year, so good luck to us both. =])
