Show latest news article in full
We have an infoscreen at work and I'd like to show the latest news article of our company sharepoint in full on this screen. The infoscreen can show any page of our sharepoint site as long as I provide the URL. How do I best show the latest news article on the infoscreen?
The News web part doesn't do the trick; it shows a list of headlines not the actual article.
Is it possible by just a URL perhaps? Or do I make a page with something? Not sure how to go forward and google doesn't give any useful results either.

Hello Jos9000
every news page have an URL, the news articles are stored in the /SitePages/ Library.
Other way is to create an Power Apps to show the news you want.

The challange is that I'd like to automatically show the latest article when someone posts something. You could say that I'd like to always show the top article in the /SitePages/ library (sorted by newest).
I have heard of Power Automate but not Power Apps so I would have to look into that. I'm afraid that it will quickly become too complicated for a simple soul like me.

with Power Apps you can create a dedicated App to show only the news that you want, without the SharePoint things around the page, but yes, it's a little bit complicated.
With SharePoint standard:
1 ) Use a news Web Part, Layout Tiles, show only 1 news
2 ) Use an Highlighted Content Web Part, Carousel Layout, show up only 1 news
3) With customizing, you can also use the PnP Modern Search Web Parts with custom layouts https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/
Hope one of the points can help you.
