Would you want to create a multi-page PDF, or more of a web newspaper?

I like the PDF concept.  It's portable.  InDesign is a great program --
but expensive.  Works hand-in-hand with Photoshop (even Elements).  Once
you're done you can convert your files to PDF, then assemble into a
multi-page PDF.  There are certainly easier programs to work with, but
InDesign is a professional class desktop publishing application, so
learning how to use it (and Photoshop) is an added benefit.  

A web newspaper is a cool idea too though.  There are plenty of drag and
drop web programs that would eliminate the need for coding; iWeb for
example.  You could come up with a common template, then have everyone
work within those conventions.  If you have a school web site, you could
publish the entire magazine site within a subfolder and a link to your
school's home page (or not).

Plenty of other solutions too.  Keynote or Powerpoint could be used along
with any word processor.  This wouldn't be a path I would choose, but it
would reduce the learning curve.  These files could also be converted to
PDF's.

Lots and lots of ways of approaching this.
