I'm looking for a good content management system for a high school journalism Web site.

It would have to be remarkably (laughably) easy to use once the initial setup is complete, and it would have to allow multiple usernames with the ability for an administrator (me) to preview/edit stories before they're published.

I would need to be able to create specific sections (news, sports, columns, et cetera).

I'd need the ability to store images and possibly video. User comments on stories would be desirable, but I would have to approve those as well.

After looking around for a while, I found http://www.campware.org. And while my school is not an "emerging democracy," this package does seem to offer most, if not all, of what I'm looking for.

Has anyone ever used this particular software? Any recommendations for something else that would be a good fit and unbreakable for a group of 16-year-old kids?

^^ Youtube is blocked at school. Flickr is probably blocked. I'd like students/teachers to be able to access the site at school.

^ I actually have an account with them, but I'm not completely sold on it serving all of my needs. It's a definite thought, though.
