Is it possible to theme / skin Discourse to show each Post similar to this?

This is a bootstrap theme. You can [see it live here](https://www.themeregion.com/demo/newshub/index2.html).

I am thinking of using Discourse to host a media heavy - think pics and video posts - sports news site.

Is something like this possible without wrestling with the code too much? Are there any designers for hire here who could do something like this?

Yes

But you need to install some plugins (at least [Sidebar Block plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-sidebar-blocks/51457) and [Topic List Previews plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/41630)) to do that as @pmusaraj did for his site

or @Pad_Pors did  
[https://padpors.com/](https://padpors.com/)  
(Sidebar Block + Topic List Preview + [Custom Layout plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-layouts-plugin/55208) and maybe other plugins)

If can’t do it by youself you can make a request in #Marketplace to see if anyone is interested.
