Space News allows you to share structured updates within a space, ensuring important information remains visible and easily accessible to all members. Unlike activity posts, news articles are **formatted, persistent, and designed for structured communication**.

📌 *Example: A product team announces a new feature update, ensuring all marketing and support teams stay informed.*

#### Step 2: Format Your News Articles

* **Add a title** that summarizes your news.
* **Write your content** using the rich-text editor (bold, lists, links, etc.).
* **Include images or videos** for better engagement.

💡 **Autosave & Drafts:** Your article is automatically saved as a draft and can be accessed later in [**My Content**](/meeds-guides/user-guide/exploring-a-meeds-hub/news-center.md).

#### Step 3: Publish Your News

1. Click **"Publish"** in the top-right corner of the editor.
2. A **publication options window** will open with two steps:

**1️⃣  Check the Headline**&#x20;

* These elements help structure the article preview in different news templates.

**2️⃣ Choose Your Publication Options**

* **Post in Feed of (Default):** Publishes the article in the **Activity Stream** of the space (e.g., “Product Updates”). This ensures visibility to all members.
* **Publish in News List:** Allows selection of a **News Target**, defining where the article will appear and who will see it.
* **Schedule :** Choose a future **date and time** for automatic publishing. Optionally, define a start and end period for visibility.

**Advanced Options**

* **Hide Author:** Publishes anonymously, useful for organization-wide news where no individual author should be highlighted.
* **Hide Reactions:** Disables likes, comments, kudos, and shares—ideal for formal announcements where discussions are unnecessary.

### Where to Find Your Published Article

Once your article is published, it will be visible in different locations based on the publication options selected:

* **Activity Feed:** If the **Post in Feed** option was enabled, the article appears in the Activity Stream with an embedded preview, notifying space members.
