Introducing Global News
Global News is a JNews Twenty WordPress demo for publishers covering international affairs, politics, business and culture. Its editorial homepage combines a prominent lead story, supporting headlines and topic-based news sections, helping readers move from the main story to a broader mix of coverage.
Use the live preview to assess the homepage, category navigation and full article experience before choosing this design for your publication. Global News is a website template with sample content, rather than a source of live news or an automated news feed.
Who this template is for
Global News suits international newsrooms, politics publications and magazines that cover several subjects. Choose it when your homepage needs a clear lead story alongside ongoing reporting across world affairs, business, science and culture. A publication focused mainly on one city or community may find Local News a closer starting point.
Homepage and article layouts
The demo homepage uses a lead-story area with supporting articles, an additional headline strip, category-based story blocks and a Most Popular News section. Newsletter forms, advertisement areas and a video section are visible in the live preview.
The article preview includes a headline, author and date, category links, reading-time information, sharing controls and previous/next article navigation. Review both the homepage and an example article to decide whether the layout fits your headlines, imagery and reading experience.

Demo Import Content and Options
Select Global News in JNews Import Demo & Style and review the content and settings offered by the importer before starting. Choose the demo content and settings you need, then replace the sample articles, navigation labels and images with your own publication material.
The live preview shows the intended homepage and article experience. The importer selection is the reference for exactly which content and settings will be added to your installation. Newsletter subscriptions and advertisement areas need your own service connections and content after import.
Installation Requirements

Customisation Options
Start by replacing the sample logo, publication name, category labels, menu links and articles with your own editorial identity. Adapt the arrangement of stories on the imported homepage to your coverage.
Review the available typography, colour, header and footer controls in JNews to align the template with your brand. Configure the visible newsletter and advertisement areas with your own providers, and preview your changes on mobile before publishing.
Choosing This Demo or an Alternative
