CMS for High School Newspaper Website?

Posted by Cliff on from the what's-handling-YOUR-content dept.

wyldeone asks: "I'm responsible for creating a site for my high schools newspaper, and I'm at a loss for what technology to use. It is small, and there will be about one issue a month. I have looked into some weblogging software like MovableType, and WordPress and they seems too simple, but larger CMS offerings (Campsite and PROPS, for example) seem too complex and powerful for this project. Are there any suggestions from Slashdot readers who run high school or college newspapers?"

    Back in the Dark Ages (98-00), when I did the online content for my High School, I just used a simple frameset. Pick an issue, the headlines with in a column down the left, the article was on the right. I wasn't allowed any active content on either server or client, so that was the best compromise at the time. It worked well enough.
