Newspaper Website Template

About this template

Give readers a clear way into your publication, from a front page that frames coverage around the city, the world, and culture to editorial sections that explain your reporting approach. The Dispatch design pairs a featured visual essay with story teasers, giving visitors a sense of what the publication covers and how it thinks.

A story-making section presents reporting as a four-part sequence: ask better, go there, make sense, and stay with it. Newspaper-inspired imagery, issue details, editorial labels, and a strong typographic hierarchy make the page feel like a publication rather than a generic company site.

Who it’s for

For newspaper publishers, independent newsrooms, editorial teams, and journalism projects that want to introduce their coverage, point of view, and reporting process.

What’s included

The design moves from a newspaper-style front page into the publication's editorial approach and a visual explanation of how reporting develops. Its clear section structure helps readers find the publication's perspective and understand the work behind its stories.

Publication masthead and navigation: A newspaper name, edition line, and links to the front page, editorial approach, and paper overview establish the publication and orient visitors.
Front page and featured story: Issue details, a large reportage image, and a featured visual essay introduce the main story. Visitors can switch the front-page lens between the city, the world, and culture.
Story teasers: Three concise editorial principles highlight human stories, wider context, and open questions, leading readers toward the publication's approach.
Editorial approach: A section explains the publication's emphasis on context, careful reporting, and making complicated subjects clear, supported by newspaper imagery.
How a story develops: A four-stage reporting sequence follows a question through asking better, going there, making sense, and staying with it, with accompanying story notes and an illustrated newspaper page.
Closing statement and footer: A final statement reinforces the publication's editorial perspective, followed by publication identification and a newspaper-concept footer.
