By building on top of Newspack, we leverage one main, or parent, theme, and five child themes. - Newspack Themes

These themes differ in a few ways — some blocks look different (like Pullquote, Dropcaps, and Separators). The header can behave differently. The visual accents can differ (like borders or shapes above/below/beside titles).

Most features, however — such as custom typography, colors and header settings — are available in all six themes.

• Site Branding
• Customizing the Header
• Custom Menus
• Custom Colors
• Typography
• Widgets
• Templates
• Featured Images
• Subtitles
• Author Bios

The Newspack theme is based on the latest Gutenberg-era WordPress thinking, in line with the vision laid out here: one theme, many styles, blocks and templates. Newspack will not be about offering an unnecessary variety of themes. It will zero in on the precise visual needs of a newsroom, but still let publishers customize their site with a distinct look and layout.

The current base theme also ships with several subthemes.

Based on this enhancements in the works, I think Newspack, out of the box, will provide things like -

• showing video in place of the featured image
• display iframes in blocks

Most (all) of the ingredients to create these types of pages out of the box - https://www.npr.org/music/ https://www.npr.org/series/tiny-desk-concerts/ https://livesessions.npr.org/ https://livesessions.npr.org/happening/los-angeles
