News portal template which works with EasyBlog?

I'm trying to put together a newspaper style website. K2 might be better for this time of site but I'm hoping in the long run to be able to have "reporters" who can post news and the EasyBlog layout may be easiest for most users (ie reporters) to use. However I'm having problems finding an appropriate template to work with EasyBlog. One of the templates I've been looking at is Purity iii which has a magazine layout and is supposed to be compatible with EasyBlog? I've used Purity iii before for a personal site but my more recent sites have used K2 compatible templates. I'm wondering if anyone has used EasyBlog with Purity iii and if so how easy was it to integrate? I've come across a couple of other templates that might work but I'm not sure if they are compatible with EasyBlog so any other suggestions you want to throw out would be appreciated.
