I have a existing SharePoint site which has two types of News posts that you can post (under post type - a “news post” and “announcement”). I would like to create a new/another post type called “community news” for example.
So on the home page, I have three sections of news items, one for “news”, one for “announcements” and a third for “community news”.
Does anyone know how I can create this please?

Creating a new SharePoint news post type such as "Community News" involves using metadata to categorize your news posts and then creating views and sections on your home page to display them accordingly. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:
Step 1: Add a New Column for News Type
Step 2: Assign News Types to Existing News Posts
Step 3: Create Views for Each News Type
Step 4: Add News Web Parts to the Home Page
Step 5: Arrange the Web Parts on the Home Page

Adding a New Column
Assigning News Types
Creating Views
Adding News Web Parts
Arranging Web Parts
By following these steps, you can create a new post type called "Community News" and display different types of news items on your SharePoint Online home page in separate sections. This method uses modern SharePoint capabilities to effectively categorize and present content.
Maybe it will help you further in your project, if not please just ignore it.

SolutionThank you for the reply, but I was able to do it, via the term store in SharePoint admin centre - to created the new post type term there.
Then I just duplicated the existing announcement web part and then changed the filtering to display community posts instead of announcements
