  Would WordPress be the right place to launch an online newspaper for a small Vt town….or do we need to use a CMS in conjunction with a hosting site?

  WordPress makes a GREAT way to do an online newspaper – there are tons of them and the WordPress software is great – easy to add new stories.

  This is one news site I go to often. http://www.phinneywood.com/, as is: http://firedoglake.com/

  Advertising except in some very narrow terms is not allowed you might have an issue with hosting on WordPress.COM. If you self host a site with the WordPress.ORG software you don’t have the advertising restrictions.
