News items are commonly used in Web sites to display news that's of interest to the reader. Actually, a news item contains the same information as a document. The only real difference is that a news item will show up when a visitor clicks the news tab (once the item is published), as shown in Figure 3-24.

If I wanted a page that detailed my exciting new product and drew attention to it, I'd use a news item. That news item would be visible under the news tab, and as new things happened, it'd slowly move down the page.
