• News Feeds can be used on all page schemas: News Feeds can be used on Section Fronts, Section Detail, Profile Detail and Degree Detail pages.
• News Feed standalone pages are acceptable: CMS users may create a standalone, comprehensive page populated with News Feed stories. This option is typically used for colleges or departments to create a custom news page. For example, see the College of Engineering's news and events page.

• Choose a format that works within the context of your page: The News Feed offers multiple formatting options. Choose one that fits the page's context (e.g., a News Feed with a featured story layout may not work well on an info-centric Section Detail schema).
• Add spacing, if necessary, when using a background color: If you use the gray background color and place the News Feed at the bottom of your page, the component's color may blend with the Contact component's color. You may need to manually add spacing to the News Feed component.
• Select a proper taxonomy for the News Feed: The News Feed is controlled by Nevada Today's taxonomy. Make sure you pick the right taxonomy to populate your feed with relevant stories. If you have questions, reach out to the Nevada Today editor and Chief Content Strategist, Angela Rudolph (arudolph@unr.edu).
• Consider using the News Feed header or description for context: Although not required, the News Feed header and description fields are a great way to introduce users to the type of content they will find in the component.

• News Feed links must have unique anchor text: The anchor text of each news story must be unique to that link to ensure you do not create a multiple destination link accessibility error. 
• News Feed button must be descriptive: If using a button to take users to more news stories, the button must have a descriptive call-to-action, such as "See all news stories" or "Read more news stories." Do not use terms such as "Read more" or "Click here to see more."
• News Feed image snippets must have alt-text: Ensure the news stories being pulled into the News Feed have appropriate alt-text on Nevada Today or from the origination source (e.g., RSS for special News Feed components).

NEWS: UNIT NAME - Purpose
