    From the Alternate Home content type, access the component menu by clicking the ellipsis icon in the Components section.
    Select "News Display" from the menu
    Populate the Title, News, and CTA sections of the News Display
    The **News field** will look for a **News: Landing content type.** Without one available, this field cannot be populated.
