Choose a newsroom or magazine direction
This collection brings together general news portals and online magazine designs. A newsroom may prioritise breaking developments, while a magazine gives more space to lead features and recurring sections. Start with the rhythm of your reporting and choose a homepage that reflects it.
Give your reporting a clear hierarchy
Decide how lead stories, background explainers and recent updates should share the homepage. Use Local & Community for place-focused reporting and World & Politics for international or public affairs coverage. General Magazine provides a feature-led starting point for a broad publication.
Demos to compare for News & Magazine
Daily News covers politics, business and the day's major stories. Its preview uses a newspaper-style masthead above a compact headline strip and a three-column news area. Global News (Global Journal) covers international affairs, politics, business and culture. Its preview uses a prominent lead story supported by headlines and topic-based news sections. Classic Magazine (Magazine) covers world affairs, lifestyle, business and entertainment. Its preview uses a white magazine masthead and black navigation above a mosaic of featured stories. Compare a complete article as well as the homepage, using the headline lengths and image proportions you expect to publish.
Import your chosen news & magazine design
Open the selected demo’s detail page and live preview before starting. Install the JNews edition and required plugins listed for that demo, activate your licence and use JNews Import Demo & Style to review the available selections. Back up an existing website before importing. Replace sample articles, images and navigation with your own material, and check any external forms or media services you intend to keep.
Make the publication your own
Use the available JNews typography, colour, header and footer controls to establish your publication’s identity. Adapt section labels to the news & magazine subjects you will cover regularly, rather than retaining every sample category. Review the homepage, a category archive and a complete article on mobile. Choose image crops and text sizes that suit your real content, then test navigation and related stories before launch.

Why Choose JNews
Top 6 Reasons Why You Should Use JNews
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose a news portal or an online magazine layout?
Choose a news portal when several beats publish frequent updates and the latest headlines lead your homepage. A magazine layout suits interviews, features and a slower publishing rhythm. Compare the prominence of the lead story, section navigation and full article before choosing.
Which collection suits a city newsroom or an international publication?
Local & Community brings together place-focused designs, including the two Local News demos. World & Politics includes Global News, Government News and Military News. Start with the audience you serve, then compare the individual demos rather than assuming every news layout has the same structure.
Can a news website include opinion and long-form features?
Yes. Plan separate WordPress categories for reporting, opinion and features, and use clear labels in your navigation. Test both a brief update and a longer article in the live preview so the reading experience suits more than your homepage headlines.
How do I import a news & magazine demo into WordPress?
Choose the design and check its detail page for the JNews edition and required plugins. With your JNews licence activated, use Import Demo & Style to review and import the available selections. Back up an existing site first, then replace sample content and review your news & magazine categories and navigation.
Can I customise the colours, typography and layout?
Use the controls available in your selected JNews setup to change branding, typography, colours, headers and footers. Start with Daily News or another demo in this collection and adapt its section labels and images. Check the demo’s own requirements before choosing an editing workflow.
What should I compare before choosing a news & magazine theme?
Open the homepage, a category archive and a full article in the live preview. Test your usual headline lengths, image proportions and amount of text, including mobile navigation. Compare Daily News, Global News (Global Journal), Classic Magazine (Magazine) with your own publishing plan rather than judging only the sample photographs.
Are the news & magazine demos free standalone themes?
These are prebuilt JNews designs rather than separate free WordPress themes. Review the current JNews pricing and licence terms before using a demo on a website. The detail page identifies the demo and edition so you can check the appropriate installation and import requirements.
How can I check the mobile reading experience?
Open a complete article on a phone or narrow browser window and follow the navigation into another story. Check headings, paragraph width, image crops and any media player you need. Use representative news & magazine content when evaluating readability, because sample screenshots show only part of the experience.
