Everything you post will be archieved.

Letts say you have a topic news which goes on the front page, and you have a topic sports news which has a seperate url.

Create the topic sports news

When you go to publish the news itself, it will ask you once for the topic to publish under, (sports news) and it will also ask where to publish it (now set to articles) select sports news in there as well.

Then you can choose if you want it published to the front page or not.

Now to find your story that you just pubished, you can go to a couple different places but to keep things simple, click on topics and sports news will be listed there, and inside that will be an archieved list, however you can create a link to that topic itself, that you can put in main menu.

Otherwise you could look at an enhanced news module, but I'm not sure it would do what you want it to. I don't actually use it so I'm afraid that I can't help much there.
