Publishing news and media releases Publishing news and media releases ================================== Updated 5 days ago · 3 min read Search Search Overview -------- News, media releases, speeches and announcements are all made the same way on your site: as an **Article**. What tells them apart is the news category you file them under, such as News, Media release or Speech. Articles are collected onto the News & media page by themselves, newest first, where visitors can search them and filter them by category. > **💡 Note:** Articles go through the workflow, so a new article is saved as a **Draft** unless you choose **Published** from **Save as**. --- Writing an article ------------------ 1. Press **Create** in the sidebar and choose **Article**. The page is headed **Create Article**. 2. Fill in the **Title**. This is the only field the form insists on. 3. On the **Content** tab, build the article from components. Most articles need only a Text component for the words, with an image or a call to action where it helps. 4. Open the **Banner** tab. Add a **Subtitle**, a short introduction shown under the title, and a **Banner image** using **Add media** if you want them. 5. Still on the **Banner** tab, start typing in **News categories** and choose a category from the list. To file the article under a second category, press **Add another item**. 6. Choose **Draft** or **Published** from **Save as**, then press **Save**. ![The Create Article form on its Banner tab, showing the Subtitle box and the Banner image field with its Add media button.](/storage/ZCtUOGbSh0cyjmhoklKrb4OoQCwh06wTjjVvg7vN.png) For writing in a Text component, see [**Using the editor**](/articles/using-the-editor). For the other components, see [**Site components overview**](/articles/site-components-overview). --- News categories --------------- Twelve categories are available: Core Systems, Frontier Territories, Funding, Housing, Hyperlanes, Infrastructure, Media release, News, Outer Rim, Planning & Development, Speech and Vega Sector. The category is shown as a label on the article and on its card, and it drives the filter on the News & media page, so an article with no category cannot be found that way. Only an administrator can add to the list. See [**Taxonomy: vocabularies and terms**](/articles/taxonomy-vocabularies-and-terms). To publish Choose the category A news story News, plus a topic such as Housing or Infrastructure An official media release Media release A speech or a message from a leader Speech --- Where articles appear --------------------- A published article joins the News & media page on its own. You do not have to add it anywhere. Its address is built from its title under /news/, so an article titled Draft housing strategy released gets /news/draft-housing-strategy-released. - Articles are listed newest first, as a card with the banner image, category, date, title and a short extract. - Visitors can search the list, and filter it by ticking categories under **Type**. - Under **Year**, they can narrow the list to the articles from a single year, or choose **All years** to see everything again. ![The News and media page, with a search box and the Type filter listing news categories beside cards for the latest articles.](/storage/2pdr8V27nLDn3zOdGJUFAuMJG5GCaAugX8WLPXR9.png) ### What decides the order The list is ordered by the date the article was written, shown as **Authored on** under **Authoring information** in the right-hand column. It is filled in for you when you first save. Only an administrator can change it, so ask one if an article genuinely belongs at a different point in the list, such as one written for an earlier date. > **💡 Note:** If you need an article to go live on a future date, ask an administrator about scheduling. It is installed but switched off for articles as standard. See [**Scheduling content to publish later**](/articles/scheduling-content-to-publish-later).
