    Hi Klaus,

    Yes this is possible. What you need to do is is to creating a document type for a News overview page, if you want this and then a document type for the news item.

    See this video chapter of how Umbraco document types are working in Umbraco.

    https://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/implementor/fundamentals/document-types/what-is-a-document-type/

    When this is in place then you need to write some code to get the data out. It could be Razor. In Umbraco you will find some Razor pre-code snippets, and if you are doing the setup with an overview page where you have the news items as children, then you can use the Razor code below.

    @{ var selection = CurrentPage.Children.Where("Visible"); }
    
    @if (selection.Any())
    {
        <ul>
            @foreach (var item in selection)
            {
                <li>
                    <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
                </li>
            }
        </ul>
    }
    

    With this could will get the node name of the news item and a link to the news item. If you have some custom properties then you can call it regarding to the example above @item.AliasOfCustomProperty.

    Hope this helps and make sense, if not donĀ“t hessite to ask again.

    /Dennis

    Another thing you could do is setup another Umbraco installation with the TXT starter kit installed.

    This starter kit has news section where it shows news items, as children to the news overview page.

    Hope this can help too.
