    On my Latin website, we have recently started posting summaries of news articles relating to either languages or ancient world. Just so you know what I am talking about, here is one of them:

    So far, we've been putting them into a most suitable by subject forum.
    I am wondering whether a better method would be to create a separate News section for them.

    Where would/do you place your news content?

    I normally have a portal setup and a forum to feed it news stories. I find this way to be the best.

    Where do you feed them from? Various tech sites?

    I do not really have a specific site, reliable enough to be able to just feed stories from. They need to be picked by hand :(

    It depends on the topic. I pull them from AP for news and tech sites.

    Because they are snips of news, I'd post them where you are already. This leaves them up for discussion with the rest of your topics.

    If they were news you created yourself for your website, I'd consider a different area.
