The Newswire theme is design for local news sites and blogs. Taking a lead from 
popular news sites like the HuffPo it has a huge home page slider showing the latest
posts (or sticky posts if you prefer). The customize options also let you upload
your own logo, change fonts, colours and background without any custom coding. The
theme has two customizable menus and you can even add banner code to the header 
and sidebar from the customize menu. Of course it is fully responsive so works great
on mobiles, tablets and desktops.
