Models

A single model is used by news articles, the NewsArticle model.

Attribute	Description
title	The title of this news article
summary	A short piece of text that is only shown on the home page and on the news article list page
description	The main text of this article. Also this field is a QuillField, allowing for the end user to add rich-text.

visible	When you temporarily want to hide this article, but not permanently remove it, you can set this to False. Note: Direct links to this article will keep working

Views

Just like events, news articles implement a Detail and a ListView.

Templates

The detail view relies on the news_article.html template, whereas the list view utilizes the news.html template. Since news articles are used on multiple places a news_article_thumbnail.html is able to generate a single news article. This component is used in both the main page and the list view.
