Dedicated News Site - Filter News to Team Sites
- Apr 06, 2020
amelsom2035 One thing to consider - if you make a separate communication site for each type of news, you can assign different people permissions for each type. Then, people can subscribe to the sites that have the news type that they wish to follow. AND, you can create a news web part on the individual relevant team sites so that you pull in ALL the news from the new site that is relevant for that team. News does not let you use a filter when you are pulling in content from another site, but it does let you pull in ALL the news from another site. Using this approach has the added advantage that each article will have metadata telling where it came from. On your "main" news site, you can have individual News web parts pulling in news from each News site so anyone who goes to the main news site could see all news in a single place. You could even make the main News site a hub and associate all the other topic-specific News sites to that hub. Hopefully, this picture helps explain!

you can also create a managed property now on news pages so you can have all the news on one site and categorize it then create multiple pages in this site for each category with a news part filtered down. So the main page can show all. Then you can have navigation to another page with a news part filtering to that specific news.

Either option should work for the most part to your requirements.
