Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 enables you to highlight information important to portal site users by adding listings to the News area. A news listing can be either text-based content or a link to an existing news item, such as an article on a news service.
In addition to the default news that appears on the home page, the News area of the portal site includes detailed views of news listings and a list of subareas. If you are a member of the Content Manager site group, you can vary the display of news listings — from headlines to summaries to expanded views — by modifying the properties of the Web Part.
News listings can be organized into subareas. You can also target news listings to specific audiences. When you target a news listing to a particular audience it appears in the News for you section of an audience member's personal site.
To make managing news listings easier, you can specify start and end dates for content display and automatically mark expired news listings for archiving at the end of their publishing dates.
