I agree with Elizabeth - Wordpress is a great choice and it is very easy to use. You might need to take a look at the user permissions - different user groups may not have the ability to upload, so you would have to make some adjustments there.
Another solution is Blogspot, which does offer user uploads, if I recall.

It would also be a solution I would recommend, as it is very easy to setup and has a very user-friendly admininstration.
