Hi Eric,

First off: how did you create this webpart? Are the news-items published in a list and then added to the page via the webpart 'Apps' > 'Name of your list', or did you use another way to import the newsitems into the webpart?

      Okay, I kind of overlooked the 'online' tag you posted... I'm used to dealing with this in our SharePoint 2013 On-Premises installation, although we are currently moving to a completely Hybrid environment.

       

      However, Microsoft has a fairly extensive manual as to how to use the News webpart in SP Online, you'll find it here:

      https://support.office.com/en-us/article/use-the-news-web-part-on-a-sharepoint-page-c2dcee50-f5d7-434b-8cb9-a7feefd9f165

       

      The last item in this article deals with removing news items. Should help you get underway.

       

      Good luck, and in case you ever want this to work in an On-Premises environment, make sure you begin with adding an 'Announcements' app to your site, and then insert the webpart referencing this list - that way, you control all of your news-items from the list and the web part does the rest.
