You need to create a custom wordpress template which should look like the following sites : ( more scope for keeping banner ads and some of the portions displaying only text in attractive manner , some posts with thumbnails - have to cover most of the headlines in the main page itself)
Example sites :
[login to view URL] (main priority )
[login to view URL] (secondary priority )
[login to view URL] (another example )
Note : If not possible to create it in wordpress , you can suggest me an alternative too.
