Setup a News, Articles website using drupal

Hello guys, I am looking forward to having a news website that is run using drupal which in my opinion would be good such type of websites. I want the successful programmer to have experience in creating such type of website. He will be responsible for designing an intuitive design for this news site and a logo. The design should be such that grabs the attention of the readers. The website will have daily news and more importantly articles written and published by different people. I am not asking you to write any script, i want you to use drupal and design such a website for me. OR, if you have any better solution than drupal, i would be willing to consider it, provided it was better. Regards P.S-> I would be happy if you could give me any more suggestion or ideas for website to make it more interesting .. NOT STRICTLY REQUIRED THOUGH
