newspaper site with joomla?

Yes, Joomla would be fine for a newspaper site. You can post articles and categorise them, add images and so on. By default articles are arranged in 2 columns on the homepage which is quite newspaper-like.

If your needs are more complex then you may find the Joomla extensions site useful for additional functionality. I also suggest you take a look at the Joomla documentation if you need some basic help.

The Python web framework Django was initially developed to create websites for newspapers. Of course, django will require you to do some python programming, but it will allow you to fit the solution to the needs of the business.

PS: As you asked the question on SO, I assume that you are going to develop a custom solution and not looking for a plug'n'play solution. Right?

i will say joomla is good platform for publishing news articles, but the only one thing that i find it really annoying is that it doesn't allow you to put thumbnail next to a article.
