You can open a Channel to view its summary page, which displays the headlines and stories of all current News items it contains. On the summary page, you can also add a News item to, or remove one from, the Channel. For more information about News items, see Working with News.
When adding a Channel, you can provide a description of the Channel, modify its Categories and Attributes, and add the Channel to a different container. For more information about adding items, see
Channels do not have permissions of their own; they inherit the permissions of the container to which they are added. This makes it easier for you to direct particular news items to the appropriate audience. For example, if you add a Channel to the Enterprise Workspace, all users can read the stories it contains. If you add a Channel to a folder, its News items are available to users who have at least the See Contents permission on that folder.
To make News items more visible, you can broadcast them using the News Player. When enabled, the News Player appears in the upper, left-hand corner of a workspace or folder. You enable a News Player by assigning one or more Channels to it. All assigned Channels that contain current News items will be active. Current news items are defined as those whose information has not yet expired. The News Player continuously scrolls through the current headlines of all Channels assigned to it.

A list of all the Channels to which you have access appears on your News Channels report page. Every project also has its own Project News page, which lists any Channels created within the project or its sub-projects. For more information about personal and project News reports, see
