I’m looking to add a “News” section to my homepage, and want this to be a link in my admin left panel so I can add articles on the fly by clicking “Add Article” and providing the headline, publication date, publication logo, external URL, and a snippet from the article.
Initially, I thought of creating a custom post type, “News,” which would give me this ability. But the articles are only intended to display on the homepage, and will take the user to the external source when they click on the image. The articles will not have their own page/post.
With that being said, is a custom post type the best approach, or is there something better out there?

A Custom Post seems entirely appropriate – in fact there is no logical alternative.
