1. Click the Modules button on the left side of the web editor.
2. Click the News icon.

4. Fill in the various fields with the appropriate information.
a. Date. For a news story with an external source (Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, UC Newsroom, etc.) match the date and time with the timestamp on the article.
b. Headline. The headline of your news story goes here.
c. Sub-Headline. Enter a sub-headline (optional).
d. Author. The author of the news story.
e. News Source. Place the source of the article here. (i.e. Forbes, San Diego Union-Tribune)
f. Body. Click the "Edit HTML" button to open a text editor. Place an excerpt from the story here. The first one or two paragraphs usually suffice. If the story is not outsourced, the entire story may go here. Otherwise place a link at the bottom of the text which states "Click here to read the full article." Link directly to the article at the external website. Click here to learn how to create links.
g. News Type. Select "In the News" from the drop down menu.
h. Publish on Homepage. Choose No (Communications will determine which articles appear on the homepage).
i. Image. Use a photo related to the article. You may use an existing photo by clicking "Choose Asset." Click here to learn how to upload photos.
j. Related Links. If the article is related to a similar news story or a section of the IR/PS website, you can set up related links here. If an IR/PS faculty member is quoted in the article, insert a link to his or her faculty bio in this section. You can also include a short bio here (copying a blurb from their faculty bio is appropriate).
5. When your information has been populated, choose Proofread or Creator from the drop down menu next to the Save button. Click Save when you are ready to commit your changes.
a. Proofread sends your news item to Communications where it will be checked and then sent to the live site. Once you send your item here, you will not be able to make any further changes until Communications has looked at it.
b. Creator saves your changes as a Draft and allows you to return to edit the event later. Communications will not send items to the live site if they are still in Creator mode.
