Joomla vs wordpress as far as news handling

Hello,
I am new to both joomla and wordpress, and made my own site before. I will setup a new website which will be mainly a news portal like an online magazine.

I first saw wordpress which is directly aimed and designed for news and blog handling and has many features, however then I looked at joomla and it seems like a more advanced and feature rich paltform.

My question is, as far as news and posts comments, tagging, categorizing, posting, formatting etc.. in general how does joomla compare to wordpress?

Should I use wordpress instead of joomla as my main focus is news, or joomla can handle news decently as well?

I have seen joomla before and never have the guts to start investing my time into it. I am using wordpress instead. It is a great tool for almost all of my site.

My favourite news sites use Joomla (all sports related) but Wordpress is so easy to use and understand that I just couldn't justify spending the time learning a new CMS platform. If I could I would use Joomal but I can't so Wordpress it is.

Joomla is also a great option. If you have a good coding knowledge then go for joomla.

But wordpress is the best because even the person with zero coding knowledge can publish and manage wordpress blog. Also remember that wordpress has some unimaginable themes and plugins that will make your life much more easier.

To me, Joomala is better then the free version of WP(.com) but is far inferior to the paid hosting version (.org). If you use a cheap hosting company I think the $5 a month or so it costs is well worth the investment for the WP.org.

Wordpress is easy to install then joomla. Joomla is very much time consuming and some times even the experienced person dont know what to do.

I would go for Wordpress, with all kind of plugins available and voted for the best CMS in 2009 too :P Joomla has it's best too. My experience was, Joomla able to handle large database nicely, while Wordpress don't work too good on that, without the help of plugins...

Like bluebitehosting said, depend on where you are comfortable working with :P

Both are good in making blog sites but when it comes to easy navigation and process you can really on with Wordpress rather than Joomla because it is easy to use and there are lot of plug-ins available to help your site.

Definitely, WordPress. It is the best solution almost for all forms of a website. You will simply get better results with it.

Hi,

When i was working on a dynamic site using Joomla, the news section was supposed to be updated with the entires and thus many times you need to log in from the back end and update it which i found it as time consuming, thus i think word press would be a good option than Joomla.

I like Wordpress more than Joomla. Wordpress is alot easier to handle than joomla. Plus it has a alot of plug-ins to add to the site.
