We have used Premium News Theme on a number of sites with use of the developers license. The magazine style makes for a nice clean layout and gets away from the look of the standard blog.
The theme is fairly easy to work with, once one gets a feel for the procedures for setting up the Featured posts, images, etc. Those who are new to setting up blog themes may have to struggle a bit in the beginning, but if they follow the instructions properly, everything should fall into place.
Another plus is the customer support. The developer is located in South Africa, so the local time there may delay responses, but they always follow up in a positive and professional manner.
Adii, the developer of this theme and a wide selection of others, has done a very good job at developing WordPress themes in the magazine style that manage to allow a WordPress blog to appear as more than a blog.
Some of the features include:
-Integrated “Premium News Options” to change colour scheme, homepage layout etc.
-A slick featured articles panel using Mootools to fade new articles in and out to display news in a trendy and efficient way
-Automatic Image Resizer
-Custom Page Templates for Archives, Sitemap & Image Gallery
-Built-in Gravatar Support for Authors & Comments
-Built-in Video Player to publish your YouTube easily and seamlessly on your homepage
-Integrated Banner Management script to display randomized banner ads of your choice site-wid
-Ad Sizes Supported: 468×60, 300×250 and 125×125
-Pretty dropdown navigation everywhere
-Different homepage layouts and colour schemes to choose from
-Widget-ready sidebars
And all the other standard WordPress functions…
