Hi Oliver_Schneeberger, yes this is very easy with the news web part. You can select news from the current site, news from all sites in the hub or select the specific sites you want news to be shown from. News can flow up from the subsites to the top level site and cascade down from the top site to the sites in the hub. So you only need to publish a news item once.

 

The one issue we have been having over the last week or so is that sometimes the image from a news item on another site doesn't display in the web part. Hopefully that will get fixed shortly.

This worked to display the news! awesome! Is it possible to get the news from the subsite to post on the main site Teams app General channel thru the SharePoint News connector?

    Paul_Ordonez you can either view it by adding a SharePoint tab to your tabs in the general channel. Or you can do as we do which is to post an adaptive card directly into the general channel chat with a flow in Power Automate, triggered by a JSON-formatted button in the Sitep Pages library. I described the steps to do this https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Using-Flows/Send-news-from-sharepoint-to-a-channel-in-teams/m-p/425124/highlight/true#M10610.
