The "Headlines" module is the central organization functionality for articles and how they appear on the main Newsroom homepage, custom pages, or article pages. It allows the user to break up the Newsroom front page in a visually interesting way, and group similar articles together. You can use it for a "related news" section as well.
This article will explain how to create headline sections, and assign them tags that will correspond to articles to publish them in the correct section.
