To do this your user account must have access to the settings section. If you have access to this section. Go to the Document Types folder. Then you have to find the document type for the type of the page where you can choose the news selection. When you have found the document type for the page click the tab Generic properties. And click on add new propperty and give it a name, then it will automatic get an alias. Then use a data type, I think is the Multi-Node-Picker type.
I will recommend you see how the two other felds are done and make you new field. After you have create you new field, you have to do some code to pull out the data from the field. You can pull out data by using XSLT or Razor or Usercontrols.
You have to find out how the data of the two sections are pulled out today. Go to the Templates folder and find the template for the page type. There you can find wicth marco are used to write data out. When you know that to the developer section if you can, and then open Marcos folder and find the macro, click on it, and you can seewhich scripting filethe macropoints to pull out the data.

How to add news section to landing page?
Hello,
We recently took over the hosting of our site from a 3rd party and are trying to get used to the way that it was built and its structure.
On our homepage/landing page, we have two news sections: "Academic Excellence" and "Saint Leo Community".
We would very much like to add a 3rd.....let's call it "TEST".
We are trying to figure out where to start to add this third section within Umbraco.
Below is a screenshot of the homepage news section WITHIN Umbraco.
The live page is located here: www.saintleo.edu.
Thank you in advance!

I hope this is good enough explained otherwise please write again. Then I try to make it more clear.
