*Article Topics:* [*NATS Admin*](/getting-started/common-topics/nats-admin.md)*,* [*Communications*](/getting-started/common-topics/communications.md)

News Items are special announcements created by you to be received by all affiliates. News sections allow you to sort your news into multiple different sections that you can create yourself. 

This can be done on the "News Items" page under the "Communications" section.

## News Items List

The News Items list displays all of your news items, as well as some information about each, including:

* **Subject**: The subject or title of each news item.
* **Section**: The section which the news item belongs to. These can be created by Admins.
* **Publish**: The publish date of the news item, in which the news item is sent to all affiliates.

You can filter the results of your news items by clicking the "Filter" button and choosing your filtering options. 

### Filtering and Sorting News Items

The "Filter" action button can be used to filter through your News Items using specific criteria including "Section", "Published", "Subject" and "News ID". 

The "Sort" action button can be used to sort through your search results using specific criteria including "Published On", "Section, Published On", "Section" and "Subject". These criteria can be further filtered depending on whether you would like them in descending or ascending order alongside the number of messages you want to be presented per page.
